The exceptional engineering and design of this home
makes it highly energy efficient. In-floor geo-thermal radiant
heat requiring no fossil fuels keeps the house comfortably warm
and at an even temperature all year round. Huge granite fireplace
in the Great Room and wood-burning airtight on lower level are
also excellent alternative sources of heat. Large covered verandahs,
French doors, casement windows, transoms, skylights, vaulted ceilings
and open plan design provide excellent light filtration and air
circulation.
The Owner's thoughtful planning and attention to
detail have resulted in a beautiful, comfortable home reflecting
years gone by, yet offering all modern conveniences. The spacious
entry hall and open plan design of the main rooms compliments
today's lifestyle without compromising the Arts and Crafts traditional
ambiance.
A gracious entry hall leads directly to the Great
Room featuring vaulted ceilings, wood-framed windows and three
sets of French doors opening onto the covered verandah with access
to the garden. The large Granite fireplace is the focal point
of the Great Room. A spacious dining room and state-of-the-art
kitchen adjoin the Great Room. The kitchen, designed and built
by Crown Point Cabinetry, Boston, Mass., features 1/4 sawn oak
cabinets, Granite counters and island. Top-of-the-line appliances
include a Wolfe gas/electric range. The large, adjacent pantry
and laundry room with separate outside entry provides all the
necessary mudroom requirements of farm living!
The beautiful master suite with dressing room, ensuite,
and French doors to verandah completes the main floor. .
