American Country Waterfront
Vibrant colors of tulips and hyacinth on the multi-tiered Vermont granite at this one-of-a-kind country home can be seen from the mouth of Menantic Creek. Combining a fair amount of wabi-sabi, kidney shaped pool, and dock, with glorious gardens designed by Lisa Stamm Booher, this is almost a beacon to all who boat into these waters. The cathedralized ceilings, wide reclaimed pine board floors, nearly floor to ceiling windows, custom cabinetry, and tasteful touches of rough-hewn barn wood, blend naturally with nautical built in lamps, hand chiseled granite around basins, and antique flairs including wood duck bowling balls and steel pipes used for finishing touches. Entering the front door and elevated landing, the vast space, and stone fireplace and exposed rafters captivate the eye, with a backdrop of outdoor natural color. To one side, an inviting dining area with water views is adjacent to a custom kitchen with high end Thermador, Sub zero, wine cellar and beadboard cabinetry. A staircase leads to a possible 4th bedroom or TV room above. To the other side of the home, two bedrooms, one with water views, with a full bath. The master suite has its own staircase leading to an uplifting bedroom with fireplace, Juliet balcony with expansive water views, spa-like bath, walk through dressing area, and exercise room. A separate outdoor entrance leads to a tack room-library. Walk the granite waterside paths to the boat landing and languish in its secluded setting, sipping Veuve and watching swans, diamondback terrapins and snappers populating the waters. A tranquil yoga patch and meditation bench overlook the water. Its present owner, creative and in touch with all things outdoors, has an eye for what is special and this property certainly is it.
