This restored, 6,100 sf-expanded 18th century antique commands a view of its 1.24 ac, brook-fed lake; expansive lawn; raised beds; and 450 ft. bleached stone driveway. Your vision--Big Tented Celebrations,Fabulous Local Tomatoes--is correct. The former NYC chef's professional kitchen, wet bar, and 2 eat-in dining areas are open to the 5 rooms that circle around this heartbeat, making large gatherings feel and taste delicious. The antique's original entrance to a home office + fireplace (cozy, authentic) complete the floor. The 2nd floor offers 4 secondary beds/baths, a superior primary suite, and has a 600-sf bonus room with its own entrance and full kitchen. Generous third-level space fronted by a viewing balcony becomes the game/exercise/screening room you choose. Windows are featured everywhere, in particular note the sunroom array and the sitting room's 28ft of windowed walls. The separate 1,100 sf, 1-2 BR COTTAGE has had just 4 long-term tenants in the owners' 28 years. The COTTAGE rental income and tax/financial advantages make your net purchase price and occupancy exceedingly comfortable. The owner has prepared for final approvals a survey,building plans, and rendering package of a pool and surrounding deck connected to the home's 500sf front terrace. The buyer wishing the design can move forward with confidence in the sellers' careful efforts. A 2025, 95% efficient,state-of-the art, Navien natural gas boiler and HW installation has proven to be a gas bill slayer.
