The ideal intersection of rustic and modern. Quiet elegance awaits in this truly distinctive and exquisitely crafted Shearman-designed home. Relax and take in a magazine-worthy masterpiece with a subtle elegant farmhouse feel from your first step inside. It might be something about the wide, light-filled open floor plan, the hand-scraped oak floors or the wall of glass at the rear of the home inviting the outside in and opening to a private outdoor oasis complete with planters and a pond. Whatever it is, this home whispers, "relax, sink in, you are finally home". With finishes that rival the most luxurious new development, this 3-4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home has been built to perfection. Every custom detail throughout has been meticulously chosen to create a timeless design. The living room is flooded with natural light and boasts recessed lighting and a statement custom-fabricated staircase giving a mid-century flair. The dining area is warm and spacious and begs for a dinner party. The kitchen is the heart of the home and this chef's kitchen does not disappoint. Honed granite countertops are juxtaposed with a delicate marble subway tile backsplash. Custom 42" soft grey Shaker cabinets, and stainless steel appliances surround a large island, perfect for food preparation and the ultimate gathering spot for friends and family. Special touches fill the room: an industrial pendant light with warm Edison bulbs, a board and batten accent wall, and a hidden half-bath tucked behind a sliding barn door with a farmhouse-inspired blackboard. A back door leads to a private back yard retreat, the perfect place for settling in with a good book and a cup of coffee on a cool spring morning. An entertainer's dream both inside and out.
