This home is both grandiose and charming- enter through the glass French doors into a spacious, sunlit living room w/ soaring cathedral ceilings, warm hardwood floors & an open staircase to the second-floor loft, which offers a separate wing w/ bedroom, bathroom & two closets.

Continue down the hall to the primary bedroom w/ walk-in closet & passthrough to the laundry, a guest room, a primary bathroom & a bonus room (for a nursery, office, spa, or yoga). The layout was designed to accentuate the beauty of the outdoors, with mirrored French doors on the front and back exterior entrances on each side as well, leaving room for future additions & extensions. The home overlooks 8 acres of green pasture w/ walking paths carved throughout to enjoy the land, maintained by a hay farmer which keeps property taxes at the minimum until you’re ready to bring the horses & cows or split the land for family. The morning views of the majestic sunrise are incomparable, while the back & side of the property are lined with trees to give privacy & shade to enjoy the backyard w/ the setting sun.
