This 2800-square-foot gracious and highly functional home is situated on an acre of level ground screened by mature oak, magnolia, poplar, hemlock and Japanese maple trees. The longtime retreat of a New York City executive couple, this gracious house has been meticulously cared-for and updated throughout the years. It is ideal for sharing with guests and family. At the center of the two-story home is an airy, open expanse of entertaining and family rooms with 58-feet of southern exposure sunlit by bay windows and skylights: The cozy corner sunroom with working wood stove leads into the pine-paneled living room with its high-peaked, beamed ceiling and fireplace, and then to a shaded screen porch with ceiling fan. The recently refurbished kitchen boasts new stainless-steel appliances and a wealth of counter and cabinet space. There is a breakfast counter on one side of the kitchen and on the other side a bright, bay-windowed dining room. Two bedrooms and baths complete the first floor, including the roomy, sun-filled 530 sf master suite with its newly rebuilt skylit bathroom, walk-in closet and office alcove. The loft-like upstairs has two substantial bedrooms, a central living room/play area, a full bath and a wealth of storage under the eaves. The back of the house features a sprawling, wraparound cedar deck built for get-togethers—it has been the site of 15 annual, all-club Fourth of July parties and innumerable family gatherings.
Central heat and air-conditioning are provided by two forced-air HVAC systems augmented by four new Mitsubishi split systems and backed up by a 20KW generator supplying power to the whole house.
Key features you might not fully appreciate until you live in the house are the spacious, attached two-car garage, two driveways with ample parking, generous closet/storage space, the substantial, dry basement with built-in cabinets and cedar closet, the mudroom with storage for coats and gear, and a finished and heated 480 sf upstairs loft space suitable for a playroom, extra bedroom or storage.
