Ahh Summertime! While others are spending part of their weekend cutting their lawns or paying someone to do it for them, the owner of this home relaxes on the deck listening to the sound of a gurgling stream and enjoying cool breezes through the leafy trees reading a favorite book, or making plans with friends, while the smells of a barbeque dinner waft from the grill. In the Winter, picturesque views await of the snow settling on the forest floor while cold feet are warmed by a roaring fire and the nose is tempted by the evolving smell of a slow cooking roast. The romantic appeal of this home is just the beginning. Ideal for someone with an active lifestyle, this Robert McElroy contemporary is a unique artistic expression not meant for the cookie-cutter type homeowner. This is a home with all of the usual bells and whistles: gorgeous hardwood floors, cathedral beamed ceiling, two-car garage, two fireplaces, central air, hot tub and more. But it's the way it's put together that makes this home special; that and the deck in the trees stretching fully 100 feet along the front of the home. Makes one think of Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Waters, but affordable. The driveway is a little steep but the price isn't and, really, how often is there snow and ice? Very peaceful and conveniently located, this is an opportunity and a lifestyle that doesn't come along often.
