"Perched at the crest of a 2-acre lot and bordering protected conservation land, this single-level estate offers a rare degree of privacy and quiet. Designed for barefoot living, this retreat features radiant-heated stone and hardwood floors, an abundance of skylights and windows that bathe the home in natural light, and a seamless connection to nature. A private circular driveway leads to a detached two-car garage and winding bluestone walkway. The rear of the home features an expansive deck and overlooks a natural rock garden and the conservation forest beyond. The heart of the home is an open-concept living room, featuring an original stone hearth and wood-beamed vaulted ceilings. It flows into a dining room offering views of the surrounding woodland. The kitchen features induction cooking, bar seating for four, and double French doors that lead to an multi-level rear deck-ideal for alfresco entertaining. Located off the living room in a private wing, an inviting multi-purpose space with vaulted ceilings and skylights serves as a home office, private gym, media lounge, or family room, complete with heated wood floors and direct deck access. Beyond this room, the spacious primary suite is a true sanctuary. Wake up to views of the rock garden and conservation forest through floor-to-ceiling windows. A sliding glass door opens to a stone patio, while the spacious layout easily accommodates a sitting area, library, office, or fitness space.
