You enter through the front gates and an oasis opens up before your eyes. The gravel of the circular driveway crunches under your car tires and the city bustle begins to slip away. There is a calmness here. You step out to admire the elegant, understated gardens and a bunny hops forward in an enchanting gesture of cautious curiosity. You have a fleeting thought: Have the realtors gone so far as to use bunnies as part of their staging? Your attention is pulled toward the natural log arbor that stands at the front of the home, and you smile. You step into the home, slip off your shoes, and the comfort of radiant in-floor heating delights your senses (and your toes). You move through the home, captivated by vaulted ceilings and wood-pegged post and beam, built with a level of craftsmanship rarely found these days. The open floor plan lends itself to a variety of sitting arrangements: cozied up by the fireplace, friends and family gathered in the dining room, or a quiet moment curled up in the window seat, book in hand and cat on lap. The kitchen is warm, welcoming, and begging you to start cooking. Your discerning eye notices the solid wood cabinetry and wood-framed windows, details that speak further to the quality finishing. The main bathroom, with romantic clawfoot tub, and the second bedroom are on the main floor, as well as a pretty sunroom which could easily be converted to a third bedroom, should you wish. The impressive staircase leads you up to the airy, primary suite, luxurious ensuite, and a bird’s
eye view of the stunning architectural design below. Outside, providing great Airbnb potential, you have: a spacious, comfy, well appointed suite with a 3 piece bathroom and an adorable bunkie with 2 piece bath and loft bed. You’ll also find a garage/shop with resin floor and sliding oversized door for easy access. All this, situated on 3 acres, and only minutes to town. You’ve been waiting for something special to come along; this home does not disappoint.
