The setting feels like a peaceful sanctuary designed to be enjoyed year-round. The thoughtfully designed A-frame Residence features a soaring ceiling and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding landscape & bring the outdoors in. The main living spaces are warm and inviting with pine wood paneling, anchored by a gas fireplace & expansive pond views. The Kitchen is designed for both everyday living & entertaining, featuring granite countertops, stainless appliances, a gas cooktop, double convection ovens, island & a charming dining area with a wood-burning stove.
