This custom contemporary, post and beam home is located on 34 acres of beautiful open rural property just over the border of Westminster/Putney and only 15 minutes from Putney Village. It is easily accessed by car: 4 hours from NYC, 2.5 hours from Boston. The property has a helipad which the original owner used for commuting back and forth in his helicopter from NYC. At the end of the long private driveway lined with trees, the property opens to a large field. To the right a hardcourt tennis court is nestled amongst pine trees. The house is wrapped with decks while mature oak trees offer natural shade and privacy. The wood interior is warm and inviting with a fireplace in the dining room, wood stove in the kitchen and a stone fireplace with insert in the living room. The open floor plan on the first floor allows a natural flow from the Kitchen to the dramatic vaulted ceiling in the dining room to the sunken living room. All rooms have lots of windows that have outside access to the wrap around deck. An en-suite guest room is off the kitchen which can also be used as an office or family room. Laundry room is also off the kitchen. The open stairs to the second floor overlook the first floor keeping the open feel of the house. On the second floor, the Master Bedroom is separate from the other bedrooms for privacy. It has vaulted ceilings, picture windows and large glass doorway, which opens onto a balcony overlooking the property. The en-suite his and her bathroom and walk-in closets are joined in the middle by a raised spa with steam shower and a claw-foot tub which sits next to a picture window. Across the open hallway, a common area over looks the dining room and connects the two bedrooms and bathroom, perfect for kids suite. Small attic is finished and opens to the second level, available for storage or perhaps a fun extra sleeping area for kids. Ground level has two-car garage, cedar closet, wine cellar, mirrored exercise room, kitchenette and bathroom for an in-law apartment with separate entrance. Property includes a separate 2 bay utility garage that houses an automatic back up generator. Although this property is located right over the boarder of Westminster, the mailing address is Putney, Vermont.
