Main Residence: A Symphony of Rustic Elegance and Historical Reverence
The heart of the main residence is its expansive kitchen, a masterpiece combining old-world charm with modern functionality. Centered around a majestic raised hearth fireplace, reminiscent of ancestral cooking fireplaces, the kitchen boasts a vast 6x10 feet island crafted from antique store fixtures. This space is not only a culinary dream but also a homage to the past, with its poured concrete countertops, vintage and custom-made cabinets, and a grand antique window that bathes the room in natural light.

As you ascend to the second floor, reclaimed lumber and crackled paint finishes create an ambiance that whispers tales from centuries past. Vast windows offering breathtaking valley views complement the home throughout. Modern amenities include a double vanity bath, multiple roomy walk-in closets, hidden storage treasures, and laundry facilities surround the main upstairs room.

The entry and back of the home have roomy foyers to greet guests as they come and go.

Downstairs adjoining the primary bedroom to the main living and dining area rests a picturesque breezeway that looks out onto the large stone and brick patio with fireplace visible from the kitchen.

The oversized primary bedroom wing exudes a cozy yet luxurious feel, with timber joists and a masculine fireplace adding warmth to the space. A large copper soaking tub, dual copper-top vanities, and a spacious limestone tile shower in the bathroom invite relaxation, while the antique brick patio and landscaped yard with a winding path to the garden area highlight the property's outdoor living potential. A large private walk-in closet and utility room are reserved in this gorgeous respite.

The combined open living and dining area's vaulted ceiling and antique Early American furniture are the perfect gathering spot. The seamless integration of salvaged wide pine flooring and access to a patio with an outdoor fireplace encapsulates the essence of outdoor living.
