About this home
Privately set back from the road on 1.5 acres, with easy access to Route 2, this distinctive contemporary offers a compelling blend of architectural drama and warmth in a breathtaking natural setting. A tiled foyer opens to a large, vaulted living room, where large casement windows frame the front of the home and draw natural light deep into the interior. The white oak & maple floors imbue a warmth that tempers the soaring ceilings, creating an atmosphere that is both dramatic and welcoming. At the rear of the home and a few steps down, a well-appointed cook’s kitchen pairs maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel Bosch & KitchenAid appliances, with a dual-fuel range featuring a gas cooktop and electric oven. A charming breakfast nook captures sweeping views of the manicured grounds, making any ordinary morning feel special. Behind the kitchen is a generously sized office, or 4th bedroom. Two very spacious bedrooms occupy the main level, each with vaulted ceilings and abundant windows. They share a three-quarter bath with solid composite stone shower. Upstairs delivers a private retreat with a third spacious bedroom, an adjoining office or dressing room, and a full bath. The basement offers flexible-use and storage space. Outside, professionally landscaped gardens create a remarkable sense of serenity and seclusion. Mature fig & apricot trees, currant bushes, and thoughtfully arranged container gardens, and expansive green space beckon you outdoors. Sunlit, warm, and quietly dramatic, this is a home where distinctive architecture and an extraordinary landscape come together.
