Privacy. Luxury with character, texture and excellent craftsmanship. On a property that has so much to offer, it all feels like a retreat- One with incredible finishes and gorgeous views from every window. Impeccably looked after. And set just over a mile to the village. It comes as no surprise that this property has been featured in Country Living Magazine. Built by renowned architect and historian, Bill Powell, the home is rich with details that flawlessly blend historical architectural elements with new. With a thoughtful open floor plan, the layout is inviting, while maintaining sense of spaces for living, kitchen and dining rooms in their own right. Serene natural light filters through the home, creating an intimate, leisurely vibe. Down the hall beyond a well appointed powder bath, is a library with a secret door to an office. The primary suite is on the main floor, with access to an epic screened porch with a grand wood burning fireplace. Upstairs, on either side of a cozy family room, are 2 bedrooms, both with renovated en suite baths and large closets. One has a built-in reading nook, the other, a ladder taking you up to a small crow’s nest loft with windows all around. A spring fed-creek runs along the side of the gated property, welcoming you home up the private drive. By the home, brick paths lead to a gunite, UV mineral pool, heated for all-year-round dips. Above the garage is a full-on, guest suite escape with a full bath and a Juliette balcony that feels straight from a storybook. Antique and crafted details outside are nothing short of enchanting. Custom Morton Building with its own HVAC, lighting and finished floors, a glass roll up door and an office. A mossy path takes you from there through the woods, to an aspirationally rustic, custom treehouse ..with a slide. The property has been soil tested for a potential secondary home or guest house, favorable for up to 4 bedrooms. Property is enrolled in the Greenbelt. Furnishings are negotiable.
