The adjacent cozy kitchen and kitchenette develop a social space for festive meal preparation.  An original copper hood and thematic hand-painted tile contribute consistent style, while stainless appliances, a built-in cutting board and ample cabinet and counter space complete the functionality of this chef’s domain.

Immediately adjacent to the great room, discover a serene solarium, a glass enclosed haven perfect for relaxing among the property’s spectacular natural perspectives.   Just beyond lies the master suite, a delightful respite also positioned against the backdrop of picturesque forest views.  Warm tones, vaulted beam ceilings and built-in cabinetry, combined with a pleasant reading area inspire complete relaxation in these restful quarters.  A huge cedar walk-in closet and impressive master bath with double sinks, plentiful cabinetry and a distinctive copper tub/shower combination add a luxurious twist to these accommodations.

On the opposite side of the great room, a useful mudroom offers easy access to the downstairs bedrooms.  A wonderful space to accommodate visiting guests, the first bedroom offers fresh paint and carpet, beam ceilings, a roomy closet and tasteful sconces.  The second is distinguished by its generous dimensions, large closet and easy access to the balcony.  Both bedrooms are conveniently located in close proximity to the downstairs bath, distinguished by its unique wood shower and rain showerhead.  The lower floor of the residence also offers abundant storage space with a hallway lined with cabinetry and a separate laundry/utility room.

Designed for an equally wonderful outdoor living experience, the residence offers two great areas to enjoy scenic back yard views.  The broad balcony spans the entire width of the lower level, while the sunny flagstone and wood deck is accessible from the upper level.  With a built-in barbeque, bench seating and spectacular views, the deck presents the perfect venue for outdoor entertaining.  Stairs from this sunny space descend to quaint paths that wander down the hill, leading to a magical tree house.  Mature native trees offer a shady umbrella to this imaginative place for quiet reading, writing or play, completing the storybook charm of this rural paradise.
