This secluded, custom-designed home with a round living area and mid-century details is like taking a step back in time to more gracious living, exquisite entertaining, and an unprecedented lifestyle. This property sits on a gated, unrestricted, 16.59 acres with 2 separate ponds (stocked with fish), mature trees, and a formal garden that begs you to sit back and relax. This rolling acreage also provides a small apple orchard and enough open area for horses. This home was originally designed and built on 16+ acres by a builder as his own home in the early 1970s and has unique architectural details everywhere! It was built for entertaining- both inside and out. Inside the front door, octagonal formal rooms welcome guests. The formal living room is the first of these rooms, with a stone central hearth on the woodburning fireplace as the centerpiece. Continue around the space to the formal dining room, which also overlooks the screened porch and has a built-in stone planter. Continue around to the well-appointed kitchen with stainless appliances, a breakfast nook, and a small study area that walks out to an expansive sunroom. The sunroom is bright and airy, with skylights, a wall of floor to ceiling windows, overlooks the backyard, and is heated and cooled by a modern mini-split heat pump. This room is truly a year-round space with double doors to the patio area covered with a wisteria-covered arbor and with a door at the other end to the large screened-in porch with bar area and stone accent wall. Back inside, all the way down the hall is the primary bedroom suite with sitting area and wood-burning fireplace, a screened porch opening to the open-air deck outside provides the perfect private sanctuary. The ensuite bath has a separate shower and a dual vanity with a dressing table, but the star of the show is the sunken jetted bathtub! A walk-in closet rounds out this amazing space. Along the hall are two additional large bedrooms with a shared hall bath. Back toward the kitchen is the main-level laundry room with cabinets and a folding counter. Downstairs, the updated vinyl plank flooring runs through the rec room, massive bonus room and attached full bath. Also downstairs is the 2-car garage entrance. The formal garden, with central sundial, is fenced from deer and has served as a specimen garden for years with a variety of mature trees and shrubs from around the world. This garden area is ideal for garden parties! A large, screened picnic pavilion with cement floor is the perfect place to relax with friends or cook up some alfresco dinner. An additional potting shed with attached two-car garage and a detached two-car garage is also within the fenced area- that is a total of 6 garage bays on the property! Don't pass up the opportunity to own this distinctive custom home situated on over 16 acres.
