Step into this storybook cottage estate designed by Norman Askins. Nestled in a serene setting of mature woodland and colorful gardens set far back from the road, this incredible home is surrounded by 2.5 acres of park-like landscaping. Terraced outdoor living spaces include a patio, covered gazebo and fire pit tucked away down a walking path, and a swimming pool/hot tub. Arched doorways, wide plank floors throughout, brick accents and double doors in the living areas leading to the outdoor space enhance the wonderful open floorplan which features a very spacious kitchen with a breakfast room open to a family room with a dramatic 2-story vaulted wood ceiling! An oversized owner’s suite on the main level has a separate living room and idyllic views of the lush gardens from the private patio. The upper level is also brimming with character and charm. One bedroom has a delightful window seat tucked in a bay window where little ones will enjoy hanging out. A large open space lined with wood bookcases and overlooking the family room would be a fun play room or impressive home office. Fully finished terrace level w/ wine cellar, living room, media & game rooms. Two guest apartments, one downstairs and one above garage, each with a large living space and full kitchen. A home like this is a rare find with more to love around every corner!
