The dining room is large and inviting room with a wood floor, chair rail, and a fireplace. A real perk and for ease of serving and clean-up, there is a fully-applianced galley service kitchen adjacent to the dining room.
Off the kitchen is another large room currently used as an office. This room would also make a great guest room offering privacy and conveniently next to a full bath.
As we make our way to the front of the home, which has a spectacular view of the barn and horses grazing in the fields, you’ll find the dramatic great room with the soaring cathedral ceilings opening to the upstairs loft. This stunning room offers three walls of sliding glass doors that allows the light to flood this room. The focal point is the brick fireplace. This impressive room really shows off the post & beam construction. Off the great room is a lovely screen porch which also has soaring cathedral ceilings and a wonderful view.
Upstairs are the sleeping quarters and the loft. The loft overlooks the great room and is a perfect spot for watching movies or reading a good book. There are two carpeted bedrooms ceiling fans and good-sized closets that share a full bath. The master wing is wonderful and on the west side of the home for a bit of privacy. The generously-sized bedroom has interesting architecture, two walk-in closets and a private bath with Jacuzzi tub. Wake up to views of your grazing horses.
The in-law in the walk-out lower level is completely separate and with its own ground level entrance. It boasts one bedroom, an open living/kitchen/dining room and a full bath. It, too, has sliders overlooking the yard and horses and was recently freshened with new carpets and a coat of paint.
