The heart of the home is the gracious living room with 10' beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, & 2 sets of triple windows overlooking the picturesque property. Exposed stone walls, wood floors, & deep-silled windows remain in many of the rooms. Recently renovated, the sunny kitchen has glossy cherry cabinetry, soapstone countertops & stainless appliances. A charming studio with separate entrance is a quiet spot for artistic endeavors or for use as an au pair/guest suite. Set on 5 well protected acres of mature trees & meadowlands with beautiful inground pool, the seasons bring a profusion of flowering perennials, a showcase of colorful foliage, & blanketed snowy slopes beckoning you to mount sleds. For all occasions, Dragon Hill extends warm welcome to all who arrive here.
