The expansion also encompasses the main level, with a sumptuous owner's retreat and sitting room, an elegant ensuite, nine foot ceilings, and French doors leading to a very private deck overlooking expansive gardens, patios, and a whimsical tree house for the children (or for the child inside the adults). The upper level is just spectacular and features soaring ceilings, architecturally significant and unique windows, walk-in closets, oodles of storage space, a cedar closet for storing winter clothes and hardwood floors. The main level boasts large, elegant reception and dining rooms, a sunlit breakfast room with amazing views of the surrounding woods and currently has access to bird feeders, which are perfect for the ornithologist enjoying morning coffee while birdwatching. Each level allows for a flexible floor plan to satisfy any new owner's needs and is also ideal for multi-generational living as there are two main entrances and one that is level. A long meandering driveway borders a lovely, wooded walking path and the sights and sounds of nature can be enjoyed from every vantage point.
