The quiet and private country road is perfect for strolling. Two homes opens the possibility of rental or a family compound. The main home's Posts and Beams combine for a stunning display of engineering prowess. A huge kitchen stretches across the back of the house with plenty of room for your inner master chef. The dining area can spill to the deck with its pond and mountain views. The living room is anchored by a field stone fireplace. The formal dining can handle a crowd. The loft upstairs makes a great office or a huge bedroom. Two more large bedrooms with a sitting room downstairs.
