courtyard and multiple decks-including a dramatic covered upper deck that feels suspended amongst the treetops. A secondary tied parcel extends into the forest, while a recently completed $75, 000 retaining wall represents a significant investment in the property. Distinctive exterior details include Maibec wood siding, reclaimed brick, custom timber trusses, a metal shingle roof with transferable lifetime warranty and a restored circa-1880 Victorian front door.Inside, the custom kitchen features Elmwood cabinetry, quartz counters, generous storage and GE Café appliances. Bright living and dining spaces open to the rear decks and surrounding forest. Three main-floor bedrooms include a primary with Jack-and-Jill access to the spacious 5-piece main bath. Downstairs, a large rec room with a wood-burning fireplace, converted back to wood in fall 2025, opens to the private rear patio. An additional bedroom, lower bath with custom black walnut vanity and quartz counter, laundry and mudroom complete the level. Recent improvements also include all-new electrical. Private, architectural and completely unexpected-a home where mornings overlook the forest, summer afternoons are spent poolside and evenings feel like an escape to the cottage, without ever leaving home.
