Luxury meets ecology in this sustainably built French style Country Manor in the heart of Hopewell. Built in 2010 with exquisite attention to detail, from locally sourced materials, this is a ‘healthy home’ in which you can enjoy living an uncompromising luxurious lifestyle within walking distance of local restaurants and shops. The grand stone and stucco house is discreetly nestled away from view, but once you enter the circular driveway, the beauty and craftsmanship of this bespoke home become immediately apparent. Set in 10.5 acres of picturesque, landscaped gardens and gently sloping lawn, the property includes a forest, a meadow and an orchard. The magnificent arched doorway, slate roof and architectural details draw you in.nUpon entering the home your eye is immediately drawn to the 20ft ceilings, Vermont Douglas fir columns and the intricate ironwork of the railings and balustrades, forged by a local artisan. The modern, open plan first floor incorporates a large, double height family room centered around a wood burning fireplace with marble surround, a gourmet eat-in kitchen with double Subzero fridge freezer, Wolf double oven with bespoke artisanal cooker hood and soapstone countertops, finished with a custom zinc bar-countertop designed by Chris Plummer of Metallo Legno. Additional large dining room. A sunroom with a soapstone floor sits off the kitchen with doors onto the partially covered patio. A sumptuous master bedroom suite on the first floor with marble ensuite bathroom and large walk-in closet. A butler’s pantry, office, powder room and laundry complete the first floor. Three large bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms and two with walk-in closets are filled with light on the second floor. A second laundry room (not hooked up) with a laundry chute. A very large separate guest apartment with bedroom, walk-in closet, living room, kitchen and bathroom has its own private entrance and heated one car garage. Two further garages servicing the main house are also heated underfloor. Full walk-out finished basement with 8 foot ceilings is a flexible space for entertaining, exercising etc. A full bathroom, walk-in closet, and a large separate workshop make this space extra versatile. Several utility rooms house the electrical, geothermal and solar electric systems. Nothing has been overlooked in the design of this energy efficient and thoughtfully built home.
