Solar glazing (windows) along the southern wall fills the home with natural light & allows it to absorb heat, creating a warm & inviting atmosphere throughout the unique, multi-level open layout.

Recent improvements including high-end appliances, updated electrical, & a new boiler, provide comfort & peace of mind while preserving the home's distinctive character. Just beyond the kitchen, on the garden level patio, you'll discover an organically designed landscape, adorned with stone walls, echoing town history and the original Garnsey property next door. The established gardens are a true highlight & any gardeners dream, offering a rich variety of edible berries, fruit trees, vegetables, & wildflowers. Mature flowering magnolia trees enhance the landscape, while private walking trails through the 6+ acre property invite you to explore & unwind. Whimsical, sustainable, & unlike anything else on the market, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to fall in love with a home that is as inspiring as it is functional.
