The wide center hallway evokes times past. Note the graceful arched window above the French doors and the beautiful wood floors. This wonderful home has five working fireplaces. To the left is a comfortable sitting parlor that flows gracefully to the expansive game room - added along with a garage in the 1990’s. Note the seamless architectural detail weaving old and new together.
To the right is the master bedroom and master bath. The master features a cozy wood burning fireplace and three closets. Two additional bedrooms, each with working fireplace, and bath and a half create room for family and guests.

Front and side porches, plus an expansive back deck make this a home that lives comfortably both inside and out. The in-ground pool will bring welcome relief on lazy summer days. From your back deck, you have lovely views of pasture and the new 3800sf barn.
The barn has four 12x12 and two 15x15 matted stalls, plus a hay loft and tack/feed room. With deep covered sheds on each side, you have plenty of options. The current owner has created a home for a pair of pot-bellied pigs on one side, and a bird coop on the other - perfect accessories for your country estate.
