Charming and sophisticated, this house was built around an 1830's stone barn. It is beautifully situated on 1.66 acres near Solebury village. A brick herringbone path leads you through gardens to the front hall with a brick floor and an exposed stone wall. An elegant room, which encompasses family living and dining, has a 14' ceiling with walnut beams. This impressive, contemporary 1970's addition has handsome oak floors and a fireplace flanked by arched built-in bookcases. A pair of large double French doors opens to a flagstone terrace and formal rose garden. A cozy library has a large picture window and a stone fireplace for quiet evenings of reading. The country kitchen has a brick floor and a row of windows with a beautiful view of the pool below. The very private master bedroom has a stone fireplace and an adjoining bath. Two more bedrooms, one with pool views and both with oak floors and ample storage, share a bathroom. The cottage, with a large deck over looking the gardens and long distance views, has a living room and small kitchen on the upper level and a bedroom and bath below. The exceptional gardens and surrounding woods will give you a sense of being far away from it all
