"The Perfect House" This house was designed, landscaped and built to make you think it's been here for years. Perfectly sited, this "Old Orchard House" is intended to exude warmth and comfort as you meander through. Incredible antique timbers frame the great room with a grand floor to ceiling brick and stone fireplace with wood storage and a Heartland enamel cookstove. The wide pine floors throughout the home and the perfectly crafted plaster walls display a patina of yesteryear. The irony is that this house was built in 1999 with all of the modern day conveniences, energy efficiencies and practicality you expect of a newer home! Each bedroom (one on the main floor, three on the 2nd floor) benefits from a private full bathroom and there's a 1/2 bath for your guests on the first floor with a painted mural wall. The windows have interior wood shutters, Scandanavian look/design, that recess when not in use. On the main floor you can find privacy in the Library for those work-from-home days, access to the rear stone patio overlooking the pond with a glimpse of the Taconic Mountains, and a sweet kitchen with an antique center island table and custom built cabinetry. This house was built with insulated concrete forms and is Five Star Energy Rated. The full basement is under the entire house and is partially finished with a separate room, hobby space and tons of storage plus another garage door access making it easy to move your outdoor furniture in/out or store a boat!
