About Property

A special retreat enveloped into the landscape. Tucked into a wooded lot with a meandering brook. Gardens and stonewalls abound with a show of soft lighting after dusk. This home was custom designed with a contemporary cottage feel. The Nordic design and quality of the Rais wood burning stove rests proudly in front of native wooden slabs adding to the organic design. Screened porches run the length of the home on the first and second floor inviting nature and its bounty; rock outcroppings, walking paths, native birds, and gardens. A lovely place to appreciate nature yet be part of a well-established neighborhood that offers both privacy and a sense of community. The floor plan is flexible with many separate egresses if needed for an in-law. Home can be entered through the front sliders of glass into the great room or the first floor porch with a vestibule leading towards the two bedrooms on the main floor. Stairs or a chairlift bring you to the second-floor great room with vaulted ceilings and paired skylights blending the organic and contemporary style of this home. The upper floor is complete with dining area, office with built-in cabinets, primary ensuite bedroom, walk-in closet, and private access to screened in porch. Energy efficient property offering multiple sources of heat; oil, electric, and woodburning stove. This home is not one to be driven by. It is one to be experienced.
