When you are here, you wildlife crossing the property's emerald green lawn on the way to freshwater springs at the bottom of the hill.The property itself borders Conservation Foundation land on the southwest side, so the view and the entire neighborhood are as they always will be: Perfect.
As you approach, a pair of granite pillars mark the entrance. To your left, is parking for the guest house and pool area and straight ahead is the driveway and parking for the main house. The driveway continues past the front of the main home and returns to Medouie Creek Road, affording guests a grand entrance.
Upon entering through the front door, you will find yourself in the grand entry hall, a hand-crafted, inlaid, stone compass rose guiding you home. The square, handsome main stairway is on your left. The formal dining room is at the far end. The kitchen and the living room area are on either side.
The walls throughout this area of the house are largely cream-colored beadboard, accented by bright white wood trim. Liberal use of transom lights in strategic places allows light to play throughout the home.
The kitchen is separated from the dining room by a wall of glass cabinets and sash windows with antique glass that bend the light rays ever so slightly, as well as overhead transoms. The effect is one of openness and light. Two door-less openings on either side of this wall of glass and wood provide easy access between the spaces.
The kitchen is finished with light granite countertops in speckled earth tones and white cabinetry of the finest craftsmanship. The large island at its center offers seating for four on one side and a five-burner gas cook-top on the other. The large European-style stainless sink is opposite the cook-top, atop another rich, granite surface. Not to be outdone, the refrigerator, just two steps from the sink, is clad in luxurious woodwork to match the surrounding cabinetry. In the kitchen, you'll also find his and her desks and a comfortable window seat, plus an adjacent mudroom area and laundry room just steps away.
The living room faces southeast and features a large and inviting fireplace and a pair of French doors that open to a bluestone patio wrapping around the home to the south and overlooking an expanse of green lawn and the creek beyond.
Upstairs is a sitting area with a spiral staircase at its center, leading to the cupola above and some spectacular 360-degree views. French doors lead from the sitting area to an upstairs deck. On the left are a pair of bedrooms, both with full baths. One features a clever loft space that will be popular with children and grandchildren.
The master suite, to the right, is luxuriously large and features its own private deck facing southwest, affording the masters of the home some incredible sunsets.
