Soaring ceilings, spacious rooms, historic character, high-end finishes, and luxurious amenities. Built in 1870, this former schoolhouse has been lovingly renovated into a truly remarkable rural estate. The primary living room is bathed in natural light through the large updated windows. Wide plank pine floors complement the large wooden beams, freestanding propane stove and the soaring ceilings. Steps away, the centrally-located kitchen is truly the heart of this home; ideal for entertaining. Anchored with a true wood-burning fireplace and warmed by heated floors, the kitchen is a chef's dream; complete with Wolf, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances and breathtaking white and black marble countertops. Down the hall, the great room is genuinely awe-inspiring. The vaulted ceiling soars over 24 feet, with large skylights inviting generous daylight into the sprawling room below. The room includes a mezzanine that offers a large open concept upper space and an enclosed room and ensuite bathroom below. The bedrooms of the home are together in a private wing off of the front living room. This wing is comprised of a shared bathroom, two bedrooms, and a spacious primary bedroom with lavish ensuite bathroom. Situated by itself above this wing is a large, private bedroom equipped with its own 3-piece ensuite bathroom - ideal as a guest/nanny suite. Additional opportunity exists above the large double garage, where a 660 sq ft insulated room awaits finishing as an in-law suite, rec room, home business office, etc. Stepping outside is like stepping into an English garden, finished with a hot tub, an in-ground saltwater pool, and beautiful brick and stone hardscaping. A screened-in gazebo is perfect for backyard dinners, and the fireplace in the double-sided chimney is ideal for cool fall evenings. The lush grounds are bordered by a handcrafted drystone wall and mature trees. Situated on a private 0.72 acre lot, this home is ideally located with easy access to the 401, 403 and more!
