In a world of its own, situated on land that once grazed sheep, this stunning and sophisticated farmhouse welcomes its next devoted stewards. Abundant light shines through every room, warming the house and making it a home. Wonderfully private, yet just minutes from Bedford Village and Pound Ridge, the property offers easy access to the Mianus River Gorge and miles of scenic hiking trails. Inside you will find four comfortable, cheery bedrooms including a main-floor guest suite-perfect for visitors seeking privacy. A fifth, smaller room upstairs and adjacent to the master suite, can be used as an office, work out room or nursery.
The layout is designed for both relaxed everyday living and elegant entertaining. Cozy up in the pine-paneled den with its own fireplace and lots of bookcases, or gather in the large living room beside the massive stone hearth on chilly evenings. The gracious, inviting dining room with corner cupboards, sets the stage for memory-making dinners, while the gourmet, spacious kitchen, complete with its own fireplace and ample seating space, is a favorite gathering spot year-round.
In the warmer months, dine al fresco on the expansive terrace--a perfect place for parties or simply enjoying the sense of place surrounding you, including the stone-cased, heated pool, which also has another spot for dining, under a rose drenched pergola. The lower-walk-out level, with yet another fireplace, offers a versatile hangout haven for family and friends. This is a home that truly embraces all four seasons while offering you endless possibilities to savor the best of country living.
Throughout the property, delightful perennial gardens bloom from spring through fall, while a raised bed, vegetable, cutting flower and herb garden is just steps away from the kitchen door. Walk around the back yard, to find your very own English rose garden tucked into the terrace, also easily accessible through french doors in the den. And if you're wondering what to serve for dessert, try some of the fruit from the orchard which is planted in the style of a romantic walkway.
This is a once in a lifetime spot; the sort of place you hope to find, but rarely do!
