The moment you turn down the driveway, you realize this property is like no other. The breathtaking first glimpse is quickly replaced by awe at the private, remarkable 40-acre setting. The landscaping is tastefully designed, with clusters of birch trees, evergreens, shrubs, and perennials. To one side, is a 40 x 40 heated garage that has two 12-foot-high entrances and is flanked by 2 smaller bays. The contemporary Cape-style home also has a 2-car garage with an entrance to a foyer that includes a mud room, half bath, and laundry room. From there you enter the kitchen, with maple-shaker cabinetry, tumbled marble back splash & large (eat-at) counter, and cooking island. The kitchen includes a formal dining area with a bay window. Also adjacent to the kitchen is a sunny family room with vaulted ceiling, skylights and gas stove. The living room is the center of the house and features a cathedral ceiling, rain sensor skylights, and gas fireplace. At the far end of the house is the master suite that has a jetted tub, separate shower, and twin vanities. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, a full bath, and a catwalk that overlooks the living area. Other highlights include central air, security system, driveway alarm, southern pine flooring, surround sound, Hubbardton Forge lighting, and Pella windows. Full unfinished basement. Everything was considered when building this traditional, yet contemporary home, and you will fully appreciate the thoughtful attention to detail.
