Property Stats

There is 800ft of road frontage.
Maintenance
As we hope you can see from this site, the house and property are meticulously maintained and frequently updated. For example, the home was re-sided in 2018, the furnace and AC replaced in 2011, the kitchen has been recently updated and small additions added for the pantry and breakfast rooms. Just this year the master bath was updated and a new 8’ tall front door and sidelights added to the home.
Design Execution
The goal is to make every room stand out, to maximize the use of natural elements, and to utilize quality, long lasting products. For example, every room has large scale baseboard, and window & door trim. Most rooms have a ceiling feature, whether cathedral, coffered, or crown molding. The floors are red oak (some in a herringbone pattern), porcelain tile, stone tile, mahogany, and Karistan patterned carpet.
Light
The home is bright with natural light throughout. With 150 windows and the exterior doors the view from every one has an interesting feature, whether the surrounding flower beds and large landscaped yard, the neighboring pond, or the pastoral countryside.
Nearly all the windows were replaced in 2015 with Marvin Ultimate triple pane Low-E glass units.
Heating and Cooling
There are two high efficiency furnace/AC units. One unit is zoned for the first floor, the other for the upstairs bedrooms. Each unit has two zones. Fuel is LNG (propane).
There are two hot water heaters.
There are three fireplaces, a gas fireplace in the family room, and wood burning in the living and three season rooms.
