Property Description

The House: Built by a designer and an engineer, this home combines lovely, comfortable interiors with pragmatic functionality. The open concept floorplan features hardwood and tile floors throughout, soaring wood ceilings, locally quarried stone, log details, a luxurious master bath and many artistic elements. This energy efficient gem is constructed with double 2x4 walls allowing for maximum insulation in both the walls and the attic. Every bedroom and the family room include ceiling fans. The passive solar design means abundant natural light and gorgeous views from every window. First Floor: The kitchen features custom maple cabinets and an island of quartersawn oak. Countertops are coppery quartz with a multi-hued slate backsplash and brand new stainless appliances make cooking and clean up a breeze. The old fashioned wood cookstove keeps things cozy in the winter. Dining with friends and family is a pleasure in this well proportioned space where beamed 9' ceilings add dimension to the open arrangement of the dining and kitchen areas. The family room is illuminated by a southern wall of windows with 17' ceilings and is warmed by a stone masonry heater - the most efficient wood heat imaginable. The large first floor laundry includes oak cabinetry, utility sink, 4' pantry, large closet with a laundry chute from the second floor bath. The master bedroom offers beautiful views from the wall of windows and easy access to the master bath. The artful combination of green marble and chestnut tones brings to mind bathing in a hidden woodland grotto. And finally, a covered back porch with a trex deck where you can watch magnificent sunsets. Second Floor: Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, a sunny loft and a large bath with a custom crafted vanity. Bedrooms are all approximately 12'x14'. One features a built in bed and dresser in solid walnut with walnut trim and maple floors; a second bedroom has a large built in vanity with a granite top. A whole house fan cools the house quickly in the summer. Ground floor: The full walkout basement has high ceilings, a southern wall of windows, an additional flue and is ready to be finished. There is a root cellar along the north wall and generouse shelving space for food storage. The propane furnace and hot water heater are located here as well as a separate room for the solar equipment and batteries. Firewood is stored conveniently under the screened porch for easy access all winter.
