New House offers both luxury and comfort in a two-level home with completely separate living spaces, providing privacy and breathtaking views of the pond on each level.

The open living/dining room evokes a feeling of oneness with nature by featuring skylights, vaulted ceilings, and natural wood interior. Sliding glass doors open to a 38-foot deck in a setting of treetop seclusion, perfect for enjoying views of sunsets over the pond. Every amenity is provided, including central air conditioning. A fieldstone wood-burning fireplace flanked by leather wing chairs, two unusually comfortable sofas, and a large dining table invite relaxation and conversation. Moroccan rugs on pine floors add to the home’s elegance.

The kitchen, open to the living/dining room, is marvelously equipped, complete with 6-burner stove, a double oven, and miles of counter space.

The vaulted library, whose walls are graced with ceiling-high bookshelves, offers an incredible variety of reading material, as well as puzzles and games. Its luxurious ambiance is enhanced by the red ceramic tile woodstove and dimmable chandelier. Seating includes chaise lounges and a sofa, which converts to a queen-size bed for additional sleeping accommodations (in this event the library door affords privacy).

The master bedroom has a king-size bed. Striking rosewood furniture and Moroccan rugs complete the room’s decor, while the attached study provides a view of the pond and an additional twin bed and sitting area. The bathroom offers both a stall shower and a 6-foot bathtub.

The walkout lower level boasts a bright, comfortable family room, perfect for separate entertaining or family activities and allows multigenerational or multifamily privacy. Sliding doors open out to a stone patio (facing the pond), with an adjacent outdoor shower. On this level, there are also 3 bedrooms (total of 5 twin beds), a bath with a stall shower, and a second refrigerator.

New House, Studio House and the Dacha share a sunny pond entrance featuring a wooden deck, a canoe and a kayak. There is a sandy beach here as well, except in years with unusually high levels of precipitation. New House is located in a very private setting, at the end of a half-mile-long dirt road off State Road.
