Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a spacious entry hall. The dramatic living room is the heart of the home, showcasing cathedral ceilings, a striking two-story hearth with an efficient wood stove, and a wall of south-facing windows that fill the space with natural light while overlooking the gardens, pond.

The adjoining dining area and kitchen offer a functional layout, complete with a pantry for additional storage. Two versatile first-floor dens provide flexible space for a home office, library, playroom, or guest accommodation.
