Dazzling Antique with Modern Finishes. This stunning property, once inhabited by Gutzon Borglum, sculptor of Mount Rushmore, has been exquisitely renovated inside and out, beginning with a new HVAC system in 2009 and ending with the 2021 kitchen remodel that includes Brazilian Negresco quartzite countertops and island, custom cabinets and a six-burner stove. The two-and-a-half bathrooms have been completely redesigned with Italian porcelain tile and one features a heated commode and towel rack, stand-alone soaking tub, and glass shower. All original logs and beams have been restored by hand to their natural, original luster by Brazilian craftsmen. Three sets of solid oak barn doors were custom made by an Italian carpenter, and two stone walls were created by expert masons. Refinished oak floors on the ground floor and new oak on the second floor enhance the natural atmosphere. Cedar shake shingles + cedar siding were newly installed and painted barn red. Impressive slate porches were designed to provide maximum enjoyment of the 1+ wooded/landscaped acre, with room for raised bed vegetable gardening and a private lounging area. A private entrance to the first-floor bedroom with ensuite bath offers possibilities for an Airbnb, private yoga/meditation studio, home office or exercise rm. Two-car garage currently houses a high-end gym w/ heat and a/c. This beloved home is an oasis, 2 min. to Merritt Prky + 50 minutes to NYC. Groceries, Starbucks and restaurants are within a walk.
