Unique, Exciting, Warm and Inviting. Imagine a long winding driveway into your own private forested acreage with a Storybook Saltbox style home immersed in an abundance of magical perennial gardens and flowering trees enhanced with integrated rock walls, stepping stones and patio and Adirondack style arbors, all uniquely designed by the owner, a master landscaper & builder. All the gardens are eco-friendly, sustainable and encourage people to be kind to the environment. This eclectic charmer was totally transformed with custom woodwork, materials and craftsmanship. The Owner's renovations focused on green and sustainable building practices with non-VOC finishes, and the gardens are eco-friendly.
