Built in perfect harmony with its surroundings, this luxuriously private residence provides a calming backdrop for life in the country. Nestled discretely at the end of a quiet town road, this glorious residence is surrounded by nature, not neighbors. Built for the current owners, this shingle-style home defines casual elegance. Encompassing just over 6,000 square feet of finished living space, the architect was able to retain a very intimate feel throughout the home. Every room is perfectly proportioned and transitions comfortably into the next. Just off the entry hall, a formal living room features a fireplace at one end, beamed ceilings, an abundance of French doors, and a passageway to a built-in bar. A cozy family room is tucked off the kitchen and sun-filled informal dining area. The dream kitchen was recently expanded and completely renovated, which included the addition of gorgeous countertops, back splashes and stone flooring. Equipped for high level entertaining, the kitchen is appointed with dual Sub-Zeros plus additional refrigerated drawers, two dishwashers, a professional series range and two additional wall ovens. A stunning dining room is highlighted by a striking barrel vaulted ceiling and second fireplace. The second level includes a sun drenched master suite and two additional ensuite bedrooms. A third floor contains two additional bedroom suites with a shared bath. Reached via a separate staircase off the main gallery, an oversized study/office/billiard room with half bath is found. The lower level of the home features a finished area currently used as a fitness center, as well as additional unfinished space that could be re-purposed. The glorious outdoor spaces include a generous bluestone terrace, a private outdoor dining area under a resplendent wisteria arbor and a free-form gunite pool built among large stone outcroppings. Perennial gardens abound, providing seasonal color. Details abound throughout the home, including stone floors, radiant heating, exquisitely detailed built-in cabinetry, custom designed bathrooms and oversized windows to allow the natural beauty of the surroundings to mingle with the interiors. With five bedrooms, five full and two half bathrooms and a gracious layout, this home can easily accommodate large gatherings yet retains an intimate feel when used on a smaller scale. Additional features of the property include a three-car attached garage, a generous butler's pantry with home-office area, a full bathroom located off the main gallery with easy access to the terrace and pool and a newly constructed, 1,200 square foot outbuilding that could be used as a workshop, gym, or exhibit space for car or motorcycle enthusiasts. The property is being offered in two configurations: the home sits on a 14 acre parcel and can be acquired in that manner, or two adjacent parcels can be included to create a majestically private 44 acre retreat. Regardless of configuration, this home will remain private and relaxing, and will create memories to last for generations. Located in the bucolic Litchfield County town of Roxbury, this residence is located less than 90 minutes from New York City, and is located near a multitude of destinations including Lake Waramaug, Candlewood Lake, Mohawk Mountain Ski Area, the Appalachian Trail, and a host of local businesses including organic farmstands, revered antique dealers and fine dining establishments.
