Architect Shane Ames masterfully balanced public and private spaces in the 8K+ square-foot home with a multi-generational floorplan, oriented toward the view. The living room is a standout with intricately detailed wooden ceilings, dining for 10, and floor to ceiling glass windows. It opens to a tiered hand-laid stone patio extending the length of the house, leading to a natural stone-faced swimming pond complete with waterfalls, all taking full advantage of the panoramas. The kitchen is the center of this universe, with high-end appliances, extensive counter space, and a breakfast nook opens to the family room. The main floor owner’s suite was designed to be a haven onto itself with a fireplace, his and her baths, private garden, planted to accent the large stone patio, and trees framing a view of Green Mtns and onward to Stowe Mtn Resort. Upstairs, 3 en suite bedrooms are suitable for all ages. There’s also an 8-seat theater room with a performance stage. A private lower level suite offers additional space for guests or an au pair. A gym allows fitness enthusiasts to stay in shape, regardless of the weather. Beyond the main homestead, there is a 2-bed barn/guest apartment; completing Stowe Away Estate and helping it live up to its name. Only a mile from the Village and 15 minutes from skiing at Stowe Mountain Resort, Stowe Away Estate unites the magical world of nature, the luxury of a finely crafted home, and a close-to-town location with complete privacy.
