Can a roof be a spectacular architectural feature? It surely is on this custom designed home with its sweeping roof line almost to the ground and the aesthetic beauty of maintenance-free 50-year composite slate shingles. The exterior of this one-of-a-kind house was completely redone in 2008 with the new roof and stone and stucco (done correctly). Sitting back from the road, enter through lighted stone columns that lead you onto a tree-lined driveway with a circular portion in front of the house or to the side 2-car garage. Stunning landscaping creates a welcome that beckons you to step inside this unique house. Soaring ceilings, angles, huge wood beams and trim, multiple doors, large windows, recessed lighting, balconies and black walnut floors are some of the special characteristics of this contemporary-style home that is well suited to antique and traditional furnishings as well as sleek and modern. You will love deciding how to use the multi-purpose floor plan with a separate main level suite of two bedrooms, extra closet and full bath off the entry foyer. The hall is a wall of windows that lets in natural light and spectacular views of the seasons.
