Feel the quiet serenity of this pristine 4 acre property as you wind past pond views and trees... set far back off the road and up a gentle hill, the house greets you as you pull onto the circular drive lined with gardens and trees...The few remaining Tudor elements of the original construction could be easily removed for a more classic home look and support the solid brick and hardi plank construction that already exists . The stucco on the rear of the house is on block walls. Many of the southern facing windows have been replaced recently with Smart Glass.
As you enter the foyer through the hand carved front door, your first glimpse is of the marble floor, soaring ceilings and curved staircase. An office is on your left and the oversized dining room with vaulted ceiling and gorgeous chandelier is on your right. The connecting large living room with crystal chandelier and wall of glass brings the outside beauty into the space. There are 2 primary bedrooms - one on the first floor next to the living room (with additional sitting room which could be a 4th bedroom) - and the other primary is on the second floor with huge bath containing sauna, shower and soaking tub. There is a large walk in closet and fireplace for cozy winter nights too.
Back on the main floor, there is a powder room off the gourmet kitchen with breakfast area and wood burning stove which includes top of the line appliances, and a second Bakers Kitchen with pantry next t o the main kitchen . It is part of the large family room and leads to the all glass Florida room which enjoys views of the back of the property and terraces.
If one takes the stairs down to the finished lower level, there is a stone fireplace, family room, wet bar backing on to a kitchen that serves the family room and gazebo. There is a full bath and bedroom with egress and large windows. The family room opens onto the terrace with hardscaping and an impressive post and beam, copper roofed gazebo with lighting and fan. The views from the gazebo look over the gently sloping lawn, vegetable garden with asparagus bed, and astro turf play area for games and sun bathing! Birds galore greet you and the serenity of the property can be fully appreciated.
On the far side of the property, up a quiet wooded pathway is a fantastic 2 story post and beam barn for cars, kayaks, a gym, a wood shop... anything you can imagine!!! There is secure covered space for it!! Walk up the hill to enjoy the gorgeous views of an agriculturally eased Historic farm property. Sit by the firepit and take in the silences and peaceful views of meadows, trees and the farmer's valley.
Add to all this a meticulously maintained home, geothermal system, solar panels for low utility bills, gorgeous hardwood floors, generous floorplan and so much natural light you will see why the current owners are loath to leave. It is its own 4 acre paradise yet minutes from stores, schools and the historic Quaker village of Marlborough. The Cheslen Preserve and the Red Clay Alliance (formerly the BVA) are walking or biking or a short drive distance away. Summary of inspection report and list of improvements/repairs, after the home inspection, are attached. A full copy of the home inspection report is available upon request.
We look forward to your visit!
