Sun Crest,
A long, flat drive bordered by magical woods and dancing ferns brings you to Sun Crest, a rambling, embracing refuge with intoxicating light, breathtaking views and pure silence. There are five bedrooms with five baths en suite. There are two primary suites, one on the ground floor and one on the second floor. Both primaries have wood-burning fireplaces and access to the outside. The property is composed of 33 acres with a nearly mile-long walking trail loop, a salt pool, pool house and a beautiful pond. The southwest terrace off the living room and kitchen offers a lovely place for dining; close by is an inviting fire pit bordered by lovely tall pines. In addition to the attached two car garage there is a free standing garage. The garage is handy for mowers and landscaping tools or could be a lovely studio for writing or painting. Across the drive, close to the house is a mowed area perfect for any number of sports from soccer to croquet. Sun Crest has served as an incredible compound for a large close family. Weekends, holidays and summers have been filled with endless games, laughter and fun. You feel the joy as you walk through the home and the magnificent property.
