As you travel up the driveway, your senses awaken to the natural beauty surrounding this post and beam home designed for energy efficiency and sited on the 10-acre property for privacy. Once inside you will discover crisp, clean lines complemented by the warmth of exposed wood beams, hard and softwood flooring, wood trim and natural light flooding through the house. In the open plan living space, a hammered copper sink, copper counter, tile backsplash and substantial island with granite countertops define the kitchen area. A glass-front woodstove adds ambiance in the living area, while French doors lead you from the dining area out to the deck. Completing the main level is a walk-in pantry, mudroom and remodeled ¾ bath. Harmony with the outdoors is balanced with everyone’s need for personal space on the second floor with 3 generous-sized bedrooms and an updated ¾ bath. The full walk-out daylight basement has a workshop area and provides storage. Outside you’ll find established trails, apple trees and a small brook, as well as a garage/woodshed. Ready for outdoor adventure? Willoughby Lake’s North Beach is 4 miles away, and it’s 3.3 miles to the boat access; the 365-acre Sentinel Rock State Park or the Mt. Pisgah, Mt. Hor and Bald Mountain hiking trails are just minutes away; golfing at Orleans Country Club in 20 minutes; and a 20-mile drive to Burke Mountain and Kingdom Trails takes you to cross-country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing and mountain biking.
