As you enter the property your first impression will be of the abundance of plants organized into sections by the antique split-rail fencing. Then in front of you is a huge barn-style building and to your right is the ranch home. Rustic charm screams from every angle:… Read More The barn has 3 horse stalls on the right side, flanking a large central garage. On the left side is a workshop. All of this covered by a metal roof. Turning to the house, you will see another metal roof partially covered by solar panels. The house itself is backed by a stone wall, has a front covered porch, a large side screened porch and a side deck (note the composite floors for ease of care) for barbecuing and just watching the starry sky on a warm summer (or winter!) night. This is rural life at its finest, with few neighbors and a night sky made for meteors, comets and stars. There is a newly established garden off the deck - it will grow up and offer even more privacy. Entering the front door you will notice the warm pegged wood floors and the brick fireplace (heatilator) on the right. Walking in that direction you will see the mid-century signature pass-through window to the kitchen just before the doorway. Standing in that doorway you will see ahead of you a small dining area backed by a woodstove and the doorway to the large screened porch that leads in turn to the deck. The kitchen proper is an over-sized galley version with floor to ceiling rustic cabinets surrounding modern necessities like the dishwasher, electric range and refrigerator; plus there is an almost obscene amount of counter top work space! Not to mention the additional work space in the attached pantry with floor to ceiling shelving plus the laundry area. Immediately next to that is a surprise extra room with access to a rear path around the house and the deck. Because of the pocket door to the bathroom from this room, it could be a third bedroom, office space, or even artist's studio. This home was updated in 1990 and again in 2018 each time preserving the architectural charm and logic of a mid-century home. On the left side of the house are the two HUGE, light-filled bedrooms. In the middle of everything is the show-stopping spa retreat of a bathroom with vaulted ceiling and a wall of windows to keep it light during the day and romantic at night. There is a separate glass-tiled shower with its own window, but the showpiece is a soaking tub overlooking the rear yard from those windows! For convenience and efficiency, there are skylights in other areas of the house, there is radiant heat in the floor from propane, solar panels provide most of the electric power necessary to run the house, the crawl space has recently been water proofed, the side and rear doors are new, there is on-demand hot water, the bathroom and spare room have newly installed laminate flooring, and Spectrum service is available for internet and streaming. Although the fireplalce and woodstove have not been used in a few years, they are both wood-burning for that special, exceptional warmth a real wood fire gives. Could this home benefit from a special vision? Well, of course! Every new home needs to have the buyer's vision make it special for them. But so very much has already been done that makes this a loving retreat you will cherish for years to come. Read Less
