Magic happens here! Stone walls and professional landscaping by Hollandia set the stage for the enchanting scene you are about to enter. Totally secluded with 360-degree privacy, the winding driveway, lined by quietly elegant plantings and stone walls, opens to one of the most charming settings you’ll ever experience. From the exquisite mahogany wrap-around front porch to the stone walkways, beautifully planted with easy care perennials, to the circular driveway for guest parking, every detail bespeaks careful attention and artistry. A courtyard setting is framed by the aesthetically crafted post and beam Barn-garage which has an additional 2 car bays. A wide staircase takes you to the second level Loft (540 sq ft), centrally heated and air-conditioned. Studio, retreat, In-law apartment perhaps, something for everyone. Designed and built by renowned local architect and builder, Ben Pilchard, Academy Design, the home showcases an open floor plan with sunken family room, tray ceiling dining room, elaborate moldings, wainscoting and exquisite views from every room. Out the glass doors to a most private deck and expansive bluestone patio and then to the Tranquility Cottage (the she-shed), whimsical in spirit and framed by a white picket fence encasing a traditional raised bed garden with stone paths. Western sunsets and view potential overlook a hundred acres of preserved farm, forest and pond. A world of its own yet a convenient 2 1/2 miles to town center and commuter routes.
