All modern conveniences have been incorporated into its historic features, creating a comfortable setting in which to enjoy your pool, tennis court, 3 level bank barn (for animals or toys), pond, and stream. Gleaming wide plank floors, deep windowsills, a walk-in fireplace, beehive oven, 2 propane fireplaces, exposed beams and a hidden cistern, are just some of the features you will find. The kitchen, with custom cabinets made to match an antique cupboard [negotiable], is open to the living room for great entertaining convenience. Elegant parties for 12-16 are no problem, and once the dining room's French doors are opened summertime dining al fresco on the west porch is where everyone goes to relax near the pool and watch the sunset. A first floor master wing allows one-floor living featuring a fireplace, two oversized walk-in closets and a private bath. An elevator and three separate staircases traverse the three floors (plus basement). Upstairs is a second Master Suite with abundant closets, private bath, and small fireplace .......as well as the 3rd bedroom, hall bath, large office, storage and game room. The third floor has two more bedrooms, both with good ceiling height and closets. Come visit ...and be charmed by the evening serenade of bullfrogs at Frog Hollow farm.
