Offered for the first time by its original owner, this custom-built woodland cottage combines distinctive architectural details with warm and inviting gathering spaces. The spacious breakfast room features random-width plank flooring, rustic barn beams, and a bank of windows that fills the room with natural light, an ideal setting for intimate meals or larger gatherings. The kitchen offers custom cherry cabinetry, abundant counter space, & a seven-foot island topped with a single granite slab & seating for four. The living room is anchored by a massive stone fireplace with a Heatilator & hand-hewn walnut mantel, adding warmth & timeless character. The luxurious primary bath features a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, oversized tiled double shower, & dual sinks. A first-floor guest bedroom offers a walk-in closet & access to a generously sized nearby bath with a tiled shower. Set on five private acres, the property is enhanced by perennial gardens and thoughtfully selected plantings surrounding the pool. Converted to saltwater in 2024, the pool also received a new liner. A partially covered bluestone patio provides wonderful space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Above the garage, an expansive game room with a half bath, pool table, large-screen TV, mini refrigerator, and abundant storage offers the perfect destination for recreation and relaxation. The whole-house generator provides peace of mind during inclement weather. Kitchen bar stools and pool furniture are included.
