First Floor:

Hidden beneath the snow are ornamental plantings and perennial gardens throughout the property. Close to the street there's a daffodil bed nestled within spruce trees and forsythia. By the walkway to the house is a large perennial garden, planted in shades of blue with orange and yellow accents. Look out the window from the media room in the daylight lower level and you'll see butterflies drawn to the fragrant butterfly bush, surrounded by bleeding hearts and hostas. Nearby are lavender plantings and bushels of daisies in multiple varieties. Primrose, deutzia, and other spring bloomers find company with astilbe and fall blooming goat's beard along the side of the house, and the back yard features many specimens of holly, viburnum, atilbe, hydrangea, goat's beard, and shade lovers including pulmonaria, lady's mantle and bleeding heart.

The large deck has a full lattice enclosure for out-of-site storage of outdoor furnishings during winter months. The back yard is densely wooded, providing privacy during the summer months and making a very inviting stop for colorful songbirds in all seasons of the year.

The kitchen features solid surface counters and miles of cabinets. Store all your essentials in the walk-in pantry-you'll find more than 40 linear feet of shelf space. The island is 7 feet long-perfect for large scale holiday cookie baking! The sunny eating area is large enough to easily seat a big family and opens to the outdoor deck.

The large mudroom allows entry from either the garage or the deck. It includes custom lockers with abundant storage for the whole family' supply of coats and mittens. Next to the mudroom is a spacious laundry room, well outfitted with cabinet space as well.

This home for sale is outfitted with 'smart home' technology. The HAI system is controlled from a touch screen panel located in the kitchen. Currently the system is used to control the irrigation system and security system. There is also an integrated home network, with internet access available through the panel and elsewhere in the home. The features available through the panel can be expanded to allow access via the internet from outside the home. It is currently possible to access the system by phone, for example to change the irrigation schedule or to disarm the security system. In addition to the smart home system, the house is wired extensively for access to technology. Each room has at least one ethernet port some light switches can be programmed to cycle on and off according to not just time, but also sunrise and sunset. The main and upper floors have whole-house speakers controlled on the main floor. The lower level media room has its own surround sound system.

The living room is designed to provide a spacious, open connection to the kitchen, but with beautifully detailed maple half-wall book case dividers that define the space. The fireplace is surrounded by a built-in maple entertainment center.

At 16 x 11 feet, the dining room is large enough to seat extended family for holiday meals. The area includes built-in illuminated glass shelving, perfect for displaying collectibles.
