The Stephen Terrill House. The original house dates back to mid 18th century. It has been beautifully expanded and updated over the centuries. The first level of the original house is now the front-to-back eat-in kitchen and center hallway with powder room. The kitchen is a chefs dream with high-end stainless appliances, granite counters, and bountiful cabinetry. French doors open to the terrace surrounding the pool. The large great room with fireplace, vaulted beamed ceiling, window seats and the wide plank floors was added on the right side of the house. Off the great room is the cozy library with fireplace and built-in bookcases. A master suite was added on the other side of the original house. The bedroom is large enough for a sitting area, has built in drawers and shelves, full bath, and walk in closet. There is also an office. It overlooks the freeform pool. There is also an office near the bedroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a full bath. The landscaped property has a free form heated pool surrounded by a blue stone terrace partially covered by a pergola, sunny gardens, and outdoor fireplace. Little Jack’s Brook with a small waterfall runs through the side of the property. Beautiful mature trees and shrubs and stone outcroppings highlight the grounds. There is one-car detached garage. The combination of old and new, the whimsy of the outside spaces, the babbling brook combine to make this the idyllic country escape.
