Designed as a “site within the landscape,” the 1920's era residence compliments its natural setting. Impressive appointments include fieldstone fireplaces, Santos mahogany flooring and detailed custom woodwork. Meticulous craftsmanship accents spacious open living spaces, a stylish farmhouse kitchen, media room and first-floor master suite. Well-proportioned second floor bedrooms include a guest master suite. Attached is a custom three-car garage with private guest quarters underneath. Easy ground floor entrance to this space includes a field stone fireplace, granite kitchen countertop, and another attached two-car garage. An expansive 2000 sq ft of unfinished space on the second floor connects to the upper floors of the residence over the garage. Beyond the house, sits a massive post and beam barn (c. 2004) warmed by seven zones of radiant heat with the potential for 10 horse stalls. Hidden in a serene world, WineCellar Farm is just two miles from Durham, UNH and Oyster River Cooperative School District. Discover this splendid property of quality, privacy and craftsmanship.
