Description
A magical estate property located just a few miles drive to downtown Highlands. Backs up to the 18,000 Big Laurel area of the National Forest where 30 ft oxen wagons created wondrous trails for hiking up to the top of the mountain way back when. The gated +/-8.82 acres of beautiful hardwoods, croquet lawn, a fenced area for horses, raised beds for perennials, asparagus and other veggies, and a large dahlia bed are a gardener's delight! A stone terrace with outdoor fireplace for grilling on chilly nights is a special place near the spring fed water feature. The 4 bedroom home had a large addition around 20 years ago designed by architect Dennis Dewolf that starts with a foyer perfect for dueling grand pianos and a lovely, open staircase that leads to an upper great room with stone fireplace and a screened porch for dining and hammock relaxation. A large bedroom wing with fireplace and bath features a tub and separate shower and his and her closets, which are a great addition. The main level that still reflects charm of the 1950's features a great room open to a dining room with a stone fireplace that is doubled-sided in the expansive kitchen. A brand new stainless refrigerator and a 5 burner gas stove and Bosch wall oven and a large food pantry create a great working kitchen! A private office wing could allow for more sleeping space for extra guests. Three other bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths complete the main floor. A large deck across the back of the home allows for entertaining or simply sitting in a rocker watching a lovely sunset. Venture up to the large art studio with lots of windows or add a bath for a cute guest house. A new roof in 2022 (40K) and 2 separate gas furnaces (one in 2015 and 2016) were just serviced and fireplaces were just inspected. This is a special property and can be subdivided into a few lots!
