For millennia designers have understood that properly proportioned spaces have the ability to elevate the human spirit. This Gothic manse with frontage on the Dyer River is grand in the same tradition. Soaring ceilings and wide open connected living areas serve to inspire. The owner, who had the home built, incorporated many architectural details collected over the years - some readily and delightfully apparent, others reveal themselves with time. Enter through the impressive double doors to the front hall and to your right is the expansive kitchen and dining areas with both a fireplace and woodstove while to your left is a large living room comprising several areas - enjoy a book in the library corner or a fire in the handsomely detailed hearth. Up the stairway flanked by the eclectic newel posts and banisters, you'll come to a large dormitory which currently easily fits two double and two twin beds and opposite, the equally spacious master bedroom. Between these two rooms is the full bath with period fixtures - all the upstairs rooms have tremendous cathedral ceilings. Outside and mirroring the form of the house is the ''barn''. Its uses can range from a summer house for entertaining to summer quarters, or for a sheltered picnic. There is also a screen house close by the living room for seasonal gatherings or sleeping. If you seek the unique and inspiring please see the photos and schedule a showing. Additional land is available. This property also enjoys a common area interest of 219' on the Sheepscot River.
