This distinctive English-style John Winsor Bi-Centennial home design was drawn from ideas commonly used in 17th and 18th century Great Lakes area houses built during British colonial occupation. Home, barn & garden are well-situated on 5+ wooded acres, with house set back 250 ft from road. The deep, full-length farmers porch greets and shelters guests and gatherings, and an elevated south-facing open 12 x 14 deck overlooks the woods. Mature hardwood forest provides shaded coolness in summer, purifies the air, and is a generous, sustainable source for firewood and edible wild berries. Main floor features a rustic blend of smooth and knotty pine interior walls & wainscot, and a slate hearth with brick surround. Floors are wood, ceramic tile and carpet. A vaulted ceiling rises over the loft landing with a balcony balustrade, for an open, spacious ambience. The full walk-out basement is divided and includes a finished, insulated 12 x 16 bedroom or studio space, with egress window and hand-wash sink. Home is well-insulated and economical to heat, is ideally suited to the Jotul 400 wood stove, and has an efficient LP forced-air system for convenience. Numerous mechanical and electrical upgrades enhance the utility & efficiency of the home. DSL & fiber-optic internet available. The 24 x 40 barn with 110/220v 100 amp load center features an overhead door for a car park and a 16 ft slider to reveal covered storage & workspace adjoining the fenced 50 x 90 organically-maintained garden.
