Description:

Welcome to your own retreat - a lovingly renovated raised ranch on a lush, artfully landscaped lot. With a 2car garage, wood shed, enclosed shed, garden enclosure, and two expansive decks (with underdeck drainage to keep below spaces dry), this home marries functionality and beauty. Step through the 10 glass entry doors into a space bathed in natural light. The living & dining rooms soar under cathedral ceilings (added by architect Sheldon Crosby, AIA) and present seasonal views of mature trees and a pond. A bay windowand walls of glass draw the outside in. The hardwood floors (refinished in walnutoiled oak) extend seamlessly throughout the living area, hall, and three bedrooms. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen - designed for social cooking. A 2 thick cherry bar counter connects cooks to guests. WoodMode cabinetry features clever storage: corner carousels, mixer pullouts (with builtin outlet), pullout recycle bins, and dovetailed drawers. The counters: imported Indian Rainforest granite slabs that are durable and elegant. High end builtin appliances include Bosch convection oven, induction cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, GE Profile microwave, and Amana Frenchdoor fridge. Porcelain tile floors with ashlar pattern add refinement underfoot. Cozy touches abound: two propane gas fireplaces with Rainforest granite surrounds; a Scandinavian Morso wood stove in the sunroom Runtal hydronic baseboard and towelwarmer systems in key rooms; central air, three split AC
