Super private home and carriage house with everyday vistas of the property's 3-acre Ivory Pond. You can sit on the deck atop 24 acres watching the sunset; the whole property reflects itself and nothing else. The house has plenty of inside and out space; sliders to the deck for entertaining, but you’ll be doing some painting and superficial remodeling first. Two fireplaces and kitchen space to refit with new appliances. Walk right over to the expansive upper level of the carriage house. Previously used as an open apartment with gaming, ping pong and billiards. Use as you wish, once again everything is positioned to take advantage of the fantastic views of the pond. The downstairs of the carriage house has three extra-large 11-foot garage doors opening to work bays or room to hold 8 or more cars in heated space for the enthusiast. The carriage house also has a 15x20 separate studio/office with sliders. Come and make this mini estate your really big-time home. Carriage House was built in 2001 and has 1281 Square Feet of Living Area. Newer Buderus Boiler and Water Heater.
