Description:

Nestled behind the circular driveway and surrounded by curated landscaping, this exceptional French Normandy country home offers a rare combination of architectural charm, artistic vision, quality craftsmanship and complete privacy. With 4,000 square feet of living space, the residence features five bedrooms and five baths, a beautiful modern kitchen, dining room with wet bar and large living room with vaulted ceilings and a magnificant fireplace. There is a second fireplace in the family room adjacent to the kitchen which opens to the backyard. These spaces are all thoughtfully designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The expansive primary bedroom suite is on the main floor and opens to a dedicated outdoor sitting area. The home and grounds have been created and refined over many years by owner, Ward Stegerhoek, a Dutch innovator and artist well-known in the fashion industry whose unique aesthetic is reflected inside and out. Every view has been carefully composed, creating a living landscape of color, texture, and tranquility. Meandering garden paths, ornamental koi fish ponds, mature plantings, and expansive lawns blend seamlessly to create an atmosphere reminiscent of a contemporary European retreat. Outdoor amenities are impressive, including a custom swimming pool, charming pool house/barn, hot tub, and glass sauna, all positioned to maximize privacy and enjoyment of the surrounding grounds.
