Pool and Pickleball Notes:
The heated pool and pickleball court were completed in October 2024. Please note that some photos currently include renderings of the pickleball court, pool water, and lounge chairs due to the late-season installation. Colors and details may vary slightly from renderings. There may or may not be a fence around the pool.

Pool is open seasonally from Memorial Day to the end of September.

The Space

Enter this expansive, 4,400-square-foot gem and step into the entryway, where you can choose to check out the library or head through a sitting area to the spacious living room. Settle into the overstuffed, comfy seating and enjoy a blazing fire in the stone fireplace as you watch your favorite shows and sports.

Prep and cook delicious meals in the large, fully equipped kitchen, with cabinets full of cookware and a pantry stocked with dishware. You’ll love the many features, such as a hanging pot-and-pan rack, island, double ovens, 8-burner 60” cast-iron cooktops, and an array of small appliances, including Keurig and regular coffee makers, Kitchenaid stand mixer, Vitamix blender, 4-slice toaster, pizza oven, and more—everything you need to ensure your group is well-fed!

When the meal is ready, gather the group just a few steps away in the dining area, with a large 20-foot (!) farm-style dining table and plenty of extra guest chairs. French doors here open to the living room. Or choose outdoor dining options – dining tables on the three-level deck and a picnic table on the grounds.

The group will discover loads of fun in the game room with a pool table, ping-pong table, dartboard, foosball, air hockey, TV, and a large fridge, along with plush seating and beanbag chairs.

In the book-filled library, you’ll find a secluded, well-lit spot to read in a comfy armchair, as well as a secretary desk for any remote-work needs. Enjoy a lovely, wooded view through the windows flanking the desk.

On the main level, you’ll also find a convenient half bath in the entryway, as well as the main floor bedroom with an en-suite full bathroom privately located behind the library.

Step outside through the sliding patio doors with a sweeping view of the lush green canopy and discover plenty of gathering places and activities. Barbecue on the propane grill. Unwind and soak your stresses away in the hot tub. Stretch out in the hammock in a shady spot. Play a round on the pickleball court or relax in a lounge chair by the heated pool. Kids will love the rustic playground with swings and a log seesaw. Grab a bicycle and go for a ride. Gather ‘round the in-ground fire pit. Or head to the beach – with access just a 5-minute walk away!
