Description:

Originally dating to the 1830s and incorporating a remarkable 1729 Dining Room, this extensively renovated farmhouse is ideally located near Twin Lakes in one of the Northwest Corner's most desirable settings. Significant additions and renovations completed in 2003 expanded the residence while carefully preserving its historic character. Original wide-board floors, hand-hewn beams, antique fireplaces, and period detailing blend seamlessly with updated systems and modern amenities throughout. Nearly every principal room captures sweeping western mountain views and protected vistas, filling the home with exceptional natural light and dramatic sunsets. The main level features a renovated eat-in kitchen with high-end appliances, stone floors, and French doors opening to the side yard and stairs leading to a media room with fireplace and full bath. A dramatic living room enjoys expansive western views over conserved land and opens through French doors to a bluestone patio ideal for entertaining. The screen porch is also accessible from the living room. Additional first-floor spaces include a library and a main-level bedroom with full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private balcony, walk-in closet, fireplace, and spa-like bath with steam shower and soaking tub. Two other bedrooms, an additional full bath, and office space complete the second floor. Rarely does a historic home offer this combination of modern comfort, western views, and premier location.
