The property will offer all sorts of surprise flowering plants, bushes and trees throughout the year. The current homeowners have created pathways throughout the property with daffodils lining the trails. So many peaceful vantage points throughout the property. Trees were removed in the rear of the yard to provide a light filled backyard and forest floor. As you enter the two story foyer, you will find a beautiful warm wood paneled door surrounded by sidelights and a transom, custom terracotta flooring leading to a large eat-in kitchen and twin skylights bringing light from above. In the eat-in kitchen, there is a custom stacked stone fireplace surround with wood-stove insert to bring warmth on those cool days and nights. Two sliding doors lead out to the wrap-around deck from the kitchen and the living room/dining room ~ perfect for entertaining!
