Supplements: You immediately feel the home's effect when seeing the immaculate lawn and landscaping that surrounds a timelessly styled home rendered in a soft white and sage green palette. Walking through the stately double doors via the expansive covered and brick paved front porch leads you to the great room, kitchen, dining room and master suite on the main floor. The kitchen is equal parts practical and beautiful. There are certain elements like a large stainless steel farm sink that are important for entertaining. The three exposed oak shelves on either side of the Wolf range, warming oven, and graceful exhaust hood enclosure artfully show off sparkling glasses and dinnerware. They are also convenient for cooking; you can grab what you need quickly and easily. Silestone countertops are elegant yet red wine resistant.

The drawer-style Wolf Gourmet microwave is ever so handy and keeps you out of the traffic flow while warming foods or beverages. The dining room provides a level of formality while preserving the open floor plan. It feels; however, like a separate space because of an 11-foot-high coffered ceiling. Generous use of windows helps to bring in the outdoors to a create a space to gather and enjoy dining with family and friends.

In the winter, with the gas fireplace on and screen down, you'll be sitting in 60 degrees plus temperatures looking out over the snow and towards the ornamental fire pit caldron flaming in the yard. In the warm weather months, you can turn on the ceiling fan, lower the screen and watch fireflies buzzing across the back yard and over the corner of the pond. It does not get any better than that.
