WRAP-AROUND PORCH and ENTRANCE
In keeping with the Quaker origins of this home, the entrance is tucked into an open
wrap-around porch. Note the incredible view from this spot. It's one of the best
anywhere.
FORMAL LIVING ROOM
This elegant room has the original 18" deep windows with a formal fireplace. The staircase
to the second and third floors is the hand-carved original. The craftsman who carved
the staricase lived on the third floor with his family until he was finished. Polished
parquet wood floors.
LIBRARY
Located off the entry hall, this room is a quiet retreat with its own fireplace, floor
to ceiling bookcases, french doors to the dining room and a door to the porch and stone
terrace. It's an ideal place for an in-home office.
FORMAL DINING ROOM
The dining room has four entrances. One from the kitchen, the living room, the porch and the
driveway. The fireplace makes an elegant centerpiece to the room, with a beautiful
view of the land as well. A small powder room is located of this room.
KITCHEN and GREAT ROOM
The kitchen and great room are adjacent open spaces, with the focus on the
floor-to-ceiling picture windows in the great room. Rutt cabinetry, a new dishwasher
and garbage disposal, pantry and backstairs complete the kitchen. The great room
has a large stone fireplace, old barn beams and siding, beautiful random width
plank flooring, a wet bar, and an unusual six foot cherry counter top dividing
the two rooms. The wood for the counter top came from a tree on the property.
MUDROOM
This room off the kitchen, has ample room for storage and laundry. There is a
new sink and plenty of counter and closet space.
MASTER BEDROOM SUITE
The master bedroom suite has its own sitting room, master bath with a stall shower,
jacuzzi and double bowl vanity and two walk-in closets. Two smaller closets are between
the master and sitting rooms for additional storage space. There is a back staircase
to the kitchen from the suite.
ADDITONAL SECOND FLOOR BEDROOMS AND BATH
The daughter's bedroom has two entrances, both from the hall, and a beautiful corner
view of the meadow from the original 18" deep, paneled windows. There is also
a deep closet. The son's bedroom also has the original windows and an ample closet.
The bathroom is off the hall as well.
THIRD FLOOR
The third floor has two additional bedrooms, a bath and the attic. The attic is a
large, floored room which could be finished as a sixth bedroom, if needed. A cedar closet
is int he attic as well.
BASEMENT
The unfinished basement shows off the true history of the house, with an aqueduct
foundation and the original kitchen fireplace exposed. For the 1990's, its best use is storage
for housewares or wine. The current owners use one of the aqueduct "cellars" to
sculpt.
POOL
Set off to the side of the backyard, the Viking pool has an elegant, quiet feel.
Hurdle fencing and extensive landscaping surround it, and there is a bath house
for storage.
VIEWING DECK, SPRING HOUSE and GARAGE
The new viewing deck is in the backyard set over a stream. Below, the spring house
is in its original condition, now painted blue. The garage is detached, and holds
two cars. There is ample outside storage in the garage, with two sheds.
