Brand new construction of the highest quality, traditionally architected New England Colonial with authentic details and an open, modern layout that effortlessly transitions from a family home to a center of entertainment. Set on nearly 3 flat acres with a possible pool site, the 4-bedroom/4.5 bath home is finished in clapboard with cedar shake roofing and is set on a little quiet country road with minimal through traffic.
The main level has a bright and open great room with a chef’s kitchen, a large wood burning fireplace, built-in shelving, and French doors leading to the stone patio. The adjacent formal living room has a second wood-burning fireplace and plenty of space for gathering. The formal dining room is spacious enough to comfortably host large dinner parties.
On the second floor you will find a generously sized primary suite fitted with a lovely fireplace, walk-in closet, marble bath with dual sink, soaking tub, and glass shower.
There are also two guest bedrooms and two full baths on this floor (one en suite). The third floor, with full height ceilings, offers a fourth bedroom, separate office/flex room, full bath, and large storage closet.
Bespoke hardware, as well as custom stone and millwork, are incorporated throughout the home to create the sense that it has been on this site for a century. The Bertazzoni oven and gas stove, the exquisite carbon-grey velvet quartz kitchen countertops, and the white oak herringbone pattern flooring are just a few of the home’s distinctive features.
Additional amenities include: a detached 2-car garage with cedar board siding, cedar shake roofing and hand forged door hinges that offers tons of loft storage; an automated whole-house generator; zoned air conditioning; a hot water system that uses the most recent heat pump technology, and a wide-open basement for additional storage.
Done to perfection with taste and style, the 3,600±-square-foot home was designed as plug-and-play living for the voguish couple looking for a weekend/summer retreat or an indulgent primary residence. Walking distance to the property are miles of picturesque riding trails, and the nearby Shepaug River plays host to a natural waterfall and an old-fashioned swimming hole permitted for Roxbury residents only. Minutes from the historic towns of Woodbury, Washington, the Mayflower Auberge Resort, and the historic shopping village of New Preston.
