Old-World charm
By Hannah Hager
Leading to this charming old home nestled on 17 acres, a winding driveway returns you to simpler estate times.This 19th-century stone home has undergone many modern additions.
The entryway opens to the dining room and living room that features skylights and French doors with access to a stone terrace leading to the pool area.
A hallway leads to a walk-in coat closet, laundry room, pantry, full bath with sauna and an outside entrance to the pool.
An elevated stone fireplace, four-burner Viking range with griddle, Delonghi wall oven, Elan oven, two sinks and a Sub-Zero refrigerator define the gourmet kitchen.
A back staircase through the kitchen leads to a sun porch.
The library/office boasts cathedral ceilings, built-in bookshelves and a wood stove.
Located on the main level, the master bedroom features Brazilian cherry floors and two walk-in closets.
The master bathroom is the definition of luxury with skylights and multiple vanities, a two-person walk-in shower and heated tile floors.
Through French doors, the master bedroom leads to a deck and terrace with a hot tub. Stone patios surround a pool and an outdoor shower.
A quiet retreat waits just outside through French doors to a deck with a hot tub.
The home also features a game room with a wood-burning fireplace, bar area with plumbing and a staircase to a finished lower level with a full bathroom and two-car garage.
