The Birches is a truly extraordinary estate. The private ridgetop setting affords magnificent views to the east and west. The main house--currently being renovated with the best materials and finest finishes--sits on over 20 acres along with a pool, pool house, garage and guest apartment. Beautifully landscaped grounds include stately stone patios, rolling lawns, mature apple, plum and pear orchards, a circular drive with stunning cutting gardens, and fenced vegetable gardens. The distinctive architecture of the compound blends traditional and contemporary style. A handsome entry foyer leads to the lofty living room with 20-foot vaulted ceilings, oak floors and a fireplace with antique mantel imported from England. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors bring the scenic beauty in. Off the living room you will find a formal dining area and a lovely sun porch for casual entertaining. The gorgeous chef's kitchen features mahogany cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances and a gracious breakfast conservatory. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry, mudroom, half bath, and a laundry room with plenty of storage space. A wide hall off the living room brings you to a powder room, a home office, and a gracious library with a French mantled fireplace and custom built-ins. At the end of the hall, the spacious first floor master bedroom is distinguished by a marble fireplace, beautiful large windows that provide an abundance of natural light, trey ceiling, marble bathroom, and large walk-in closet. Back by the foyer, a spiral staircase winds inside of a turret to the second floor with two private bedrooms, each with en-suite bath. The ample pool house equipped with a full bath (including outdoor shower) and prep kitchen can accommodate additional summer guests. The heated, in-ground, gunite pool with rock waterfall is surrounded by beautiful gardens and mountain views. Connected to the main house by covered walkway is the oversized three-car heated garage, with a one-bedroom guest or caretaker apartment above it. Interior photos are limited due to ongoing renovations. Total square footage includes the main house, garage apartment, and pool house.
