Some homes make a statement. This one makes you slow down. Set on five beautiful acres framed by split-rail fencing, open fields and peaceful pastoral views, this stately country home has a way of feeling impressive and welcoming all at once. Step inside and the scale immediately stands outgenerous rooms, hardwood floors throughout, 9' ceilings on the main level, crown molding and chair rail, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace at the heart of the main living area. The renovated kitchen features Dacor appliances, abundant cabinetry and a large island that opens naturally to the spaces where everyone tends to gather. The floor plan is exceptionally flexible, with two choices for a primary suite, including an expansive main-level suite approaching 500 square feet. Both primary suites feature European-style bidets, all bedroom closets have custom shelving, racks and drawers, and the two additional bedrooms also have en-suite baths. A mudroom, separate laundry room with custom built-in storage and an additional full bath make the main level as practical as it is spacious. Downstairs, the walkout basement has a personality of its own, with polished concrete floors, rustic wood accents, a pellet stove, repurposed cabinetry and plumbing already roughed in for a future bathready to become a rec room, theater, workshop, game room or whatever fits the way you live.
