When nature speaks all the earth is silent. This is a place to set a poet singing!
A home quite unique, in a style best described as an "Adirondack Lodge". Built in the early 1940’s of native fieldstone and cedar shake siding. Open covered porch overlooks lush lawn and fast moving trout stream. Enter through a covered stone verandah, the interior is strongly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement in the early years of the last century - the elements of design forged by the noted architects such as William Morris, Gustave Stickley, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Artful attention to details with natural stone and wood used in the interior and exterior ascribe to its charisma. Upon entering one is met with the sense of discovery, it is difficult to concentrate on one dramatic feature at a time. The focal point of the living/dining room is a large River Rock and native fieldstone fireplace, with stone hearth and defined with hardwood floor. Ample light is achieved by the use of bands of casement windows. The dining area is enhanced with built-in cabinets and tranquil views. Step into a gently updated eat-in-kitchen, flattered by the use of ceramic tile for ease of maintenance. An open staircase leads to the piece de resistance the "Lodge Room" with cathedral ceiling and natural ridge poles. A massive stone fireplace is the focal point with the added radiance of wide pegged wood floors. Wraparound casement windows provide a sense of oneness with nature, and the natural light begs for the artist’s ideal studio. The sleeping area is accessed through double French doors that lead to two bedrooms and full bath. Large casement widows furnish cross ventilation, views, and abundant light.
Amenities: Enchanted, one of the most tranquil and seductive places to be experienced in a long time. Surrounded by thousands of preserved acres on meadows and woodlands. Sequestered on 5 +/- acres, with garage, and small studio/workshop. Towering hemlocks and pines present a perfect backdrop for a sustained quality of life. Be lulled to sleep by the ever audible sound of falling water. A place that is difficult to pull yourself away from.
