Exceptional craftsmanship commands respect throughout this timber frame home. Exposed red oak beams, visible mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, showcase the labor intense precision cut and fitting. The craftmanship continues with beautiful inlaid hardwood flooring and custom cherry cabinetry. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home, is nestled in the hillside with 12 acres offering a private and peaceful setting. Many updates have been done since ownership including the addition of an oversized, 1-car garage and finished breezeway connecting to the home. The breezeway, architecturally designed, with 2 French doors that allow access to the north and south side of the home for sun or shade enjoyment. In addition, a covered back porch connects to a 3 season sun-room, perfect for gatherings with friends and family. The hillside rocks and ledges, mostly schist with some white quartz, beckon to become a woodland garden. Secluded and private. A peaceful sanctuary to call home.
