Description
Uniquely beautiful doesn't do justice to this newly constructed home designed by Homewrights Development. It is in the midst of the final touches and ready for occupancy in the spring of 2027. On a 16-acre property accessed from a low-traffic road, the winding driveway bordered by white pines and fields ends on a modest plateau. Hayfields and trees play a large role in this setting. The property is contiguous with a 150-acre farm which provides the rolling hills, and Homewrights used the services of a renowned landscape designer to anchor the home and pool with a selection of elms, oaks, maples, and ornamental grasses, all thoughtfully situated. On a practical level, there is a 14-zone irrigation system to keep everything nicely cared for. This designer has also laid out a stone path to be installed, leading to the front door. The two-story home faces east to the Berkshires, south to the neighbor's hayfields; while the western elevation has a stone wall enclosed barbecue and a planned dining patio. The northeastern view is what truly takes the prize, with a 500 square foot bluestone paver loggia and post and beam construction by local Amish carpenters, it defines the term bucolic. Reminiscent of medieval monastic cloisters, it is perfect for solitary musings but could just as well be the sight of joyful communal gatherings. Out of sight, through a mini-copse of maples is the path to the 70 x17' heated, saltwater, Gunite pool with electric cover, and cabana. The eastern elevation has an intimate covered porch, opening onto the main room through double doors of antique heart pine. An 'official' front door some twenty feet along the same plane leads into the foyer of the home. This 200 square-foot space sets the tone for spaciousness throughout the building. A radiant heated, natural cleft quartzite floor flows from there to a pair of ground floor bedrooms, connected by a full bathroom. A utility room in the other direction holds the extra fridge, a washer/dryer unit, sink, and ever so useful storage shelves all around. Beyond that is the control center of the house, a large room that calls out for gym equipment. But there's no question that the 50-foot long main room is the star of this show. With 17-foot high ceilings and a white stained eastern yellow pine floor, an eat-in kitchen, dining room, and living room come together as one. The kitchen area, separated by a 10-foot limestone eating/cooking island keeps the cook in the action while giving them access to all modern conveniences. This includes a 36'' Wolf induction stove, Bertazzoni microwave, Sub Zero refrigerator, Thermador dishwasher and ample cabinet space. Beyond the kitchen area is a generous dining space anchored by a New England fieldstone fireplace. Everything flows effortlessly. For quiet reading or the inevitable desk work, there's a small den with a powder room at the kitchen end of the great room. At the top of the stairs, you will also find a cozy secondary study, bring your vision for this space! Although, the main act on the second floor is the panorama offered by the large sitting room, also with a powder room. A very private primary bedroom is near completion, claiming the entire north end. It is planned to be separated only by opaque glass from a remarkable tile and glass shower, tub, and toilet. Space, comfort, and privacy define this truly unique luxury home. Only 2.5 hours from Manhattan, 20 miles from the train station, and one hour to the nearest international airport. This property is in a prime location for all things outdoors, including nearby skiing and hiking, but not far from necessities.
