Named 'Stonewood' by its architect owner as his personal home reteat, this most unique estate offers the privacy and space of the country, but with city conveniences. Each of the three bedrooms has its own private bath. Another full bath serves the basement, while a large powder room boasts authentic Japanese screens. With two gas log fireplaces, two wood burning fireplaces, and abundant insulation, this home of over 5400 square feet has incredibly low utilities. Hand-inlaid woods of teak, mahogany, oak and Italian marble create floors that are beautiful and as well as durable. Walls of exotic woods, including wormy cypress and mahogany, were meticulously designed by the best wood craftsmen of the 1970's. The master bedroom occupies the area to the right of the foyer on the main level, providing separation and privacy from the other two bedrooms upstairs, and the living areas on the main level. The formal dining room features a deep trey ceiling, electric drawn floor-to-ceiling curtains, a Waterford chandelier, and two sets of french doors with transoms. The stairway leads to the two bedrooms and baths, plus a spacious study with its own fireplace. Much of the 2.4 acres has been landscaped with colorful perrineals for every season. Recently remodeled, the gourmet kitchen includes a convection microwave oven, nine cook surfaces, and cherry cabinets with genuine Chinese hardware. $699,999
