Inside this cedar and Seneca limestone estate, youll find American cherry hardwood floors and bannisters throughout, rubbed bronze chandeliers in the kitchen and dining room, two gas fireplaces--one in the kitchen dining area and one in the living room--both with floor to ceiling stone hearths. The gourmet kitchen includes two sinks, a Dacor six-burner stovetop, and double convection ovens. A large island of engineered stone, cherry cabinets with endless pantry storage, and a silent, energy-efficient Bosch dishwasher. Airy, vaulted ceilings in the kitchen, living room, and dining room. On the basement level, a finished family room includes a wood-burning stove and a rustic stone hearth for cozy winter evenings. A separate front entrance connected to the two-car garage includes a mudroom with organized space for stowing all of your outdoor gear when you come in from hikes in the surrounding woods.
Bedrooms include a master bathroom suite with walkthrough closets and jetted tub; two guest-area bedroom suites on the second level, separated by a built-in library, give privacy to guests when you entertain for the weekend. A third floor office and fourth story meditation room provide work and relaxation spaces for you.
Outside, five landscaped patios, offer a 360 degree view of the estate acreage, and a cantilevered balcony off the living room overlooks state forest lands. Watch wildlife and sunsets. Its the perfect blend of luxury and local landscape.
Outbuildings provide storage for your ATVs, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, or space to board horses, cows, or chickens. This is an ideal place to enjoy starlit nights, campfires, and hikes. There is plenty of wildlife and birdwatching to be observed. Local farm markets in downtown Brookville provide local, seasonable produce, or grow your own in the chef's garden off the kitchen patio.
