This estate sits on approximately 37 acres m/l of rolling countryside, gardens, and water features. This restructured designer space offers an exceptional blend of modern design and thoughtful craftsmanship. It embraces a modern open-concept layout, creating seamless flow between living, dining, and entertaining spaces. At its center is a dramatic vaulted family room with a soaring ceiling and windows framing panoramic views that fill the home with natural light. There's an inviting den with custom built-in bookcases that provides the perfect setting for a quiet retreat. Nearby are two back-to-back fireplaces—one warming the sitting area and the other enhancing the dining room. The kitchen features designer appliances. A flexible loft area offers additional space for a creative hideaway. A dedicated greenhouse expands the property’s gardening potential, ideal for year-round growing or specialty plants. Outside, a wrap around deck overlooks a tranquil pond, mature trees and more.
