Description

Welcome to Boomerang Hill - We hope the pictures will share enough of the magic for you to appreciate this country property as it does not fit cryptic descriptions. There is a mixture of pictures - some pre-dating the recent passing of the owner and some with current work and décor. A long-wooded drive brings you to what appears as a 1-story home with exceptional metal roofs. But then look at the 2 story back. Optional true one-level living with easy access to entire Main Level. The brick floored...Welcome to Boomerang Hill - We hope the pictures will share enough of the magic for you to appreciate this country property as it does not fit cryptic descriptions. There is a mixture of pictures - some pre-dating the recent passing of the owner and some with current work and décor. A long-wooded drive brings you to what appears as a 1-story home with exceptional metal roofs. But then look at the 2 story back. Optional true one-level living with easy access to entire Main Level. The brick floored Foyer gives one level access to 3 areas - the Country Kitchen (w brass sinks, Garland range & Fireplace), Butler' s Pantry/Laundry & Solarium Wing. Next are 2 direct openings to the vaulted Living Room with Fireplace. Next is the Primary wing including a Library & the Primary Suite with 2 walk-in closets and 6 piece Bath with curved stone shower and whirlpool. Many spaces have vaulted ceilings, brick, flagstone or newer hardwood floors. Except for the Butler s Pantry/Laundry (with 2nd dishwasher & sink) all areas have direct access to exterior balconies or a terrace. There is a cozy 4th Bedroom (2 beds) on the 2nd floor with a cute Kitchen overlook. 2nd floor also provides access to walk-in large attic storage. Also, from the Foyer are stairs down to large Family Rm with Fireplace and Alcove. There is also a full bath and 2 dressing rooms located to serve 2 more Bedrooms and the full-sized heated INDOOR Pool (32x12). In addition to sliding glass doors that contribute to the indoor/outdoor Pool setting, there is a greenhouse area. Light and bright is a fair description with exceptional openness to the lower Courtyard that includes functional artwork. The metal Dutcher gate has been powder coated for long-term protection. Oh, and the Tennis Court has also been used for Ice Skating. 5 Car Garage (53x24) with water includes 3 openers. Some of the previous quality improvements included exceptional standing seam roof, Solarium conversion, newer Propane Heating systems and newer 22 KW "Whole House" Generator. Wonderful Gardens and exterior improvements are available for enjoyment on the well utilized 5 plus acres. And just a mile away is the West Vincent Twp. Andrew Evans Park including trails, sport fields, pavilion and playground.
