Reminiscent of the original thirteen colonies, this New England country house is yet another fine example of the construction prowess of Sutherland Custom Homes. If Martha and George Washington had slept here, no doubt they would still be in residence, not deigning to ever leave. The finished product will be extraordinary, with superb craftsmanship and dedicated attention to detail. This is a rare opportunity to bypass the often expensive and time-consuming building design process and move right onto customizing an elegant, family-friendly home to your own refined tastes. Light-filled and airy, this country manor home is set on an acre parcel surrounded by mature trees, just a few minutes from the Village center and its immediate access to Interstate 94. The striking exterior features Hardie Board siding, dressed fieldstone accents, standing seam steel roofing and fifty-year architectural asphalt shingles. There are numerous open air porches and an idyllic screened porch overlooking the rear lawn. The interior boasts a vaulted great room with French doors and a large wood-burning fireplace with gas starter. The dining room has its own wet bar, a glassed-in breakfront and French doors opening into the screened porch. The kitchen has a working center island, seating four comfortably and every high-end appliance imaginable. There is also a wood-paneled office, expansive center hallway, walk-in pantry, huge first-floor laundry, a convenient mud room and an attached three-car garage with ample storage. A formal staircase services the second floor and the finished basement. The second floor hosts a lavish master suite and three large family bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath. The basement has a fifth bedroom with its own bath, a second wet bar, an enormous recreation room and two large, unfinished storage rooms.
