This custom-built Arts&Crafts style home combines the best of contemporary open-plan architectural elements of cathedral ceilings and open loft with a Craftsman Style design that feels like HOME. Privately setback above the bucolic Denver-Vega county road this charming residence is perched on a massive boulder retaining wall and includes 6.5 acres of forested mountainside, a pond, and nicely landscaped yard and gardens. The front porch offers views across the Denver-Vega Valley to the mountains lining the Batavia Kill Stream and a matching back porch looks up the hill to ancient stone walls that lined former farm pastures. This well-designed home is essentially new-construction since it was planned as a family retreat but was never occupied and construction is just now being completed. Walking in off the long covered front porch you enter a lofty living room open to the kitchen/dining room below the upstairs open loft. The kitchen has top quality maple cabinetry, color flecked composite counters and all new appliances with a dining alcove next to sliding glass doors to the big covered porch in back perfect for the grill master. There are beautiful hardwood bamboo floors thr
