Outside, stone and brick walls surround covered and open spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and another wood-burning fireplace designed for extended seasonal living. Inside, a chef’s kitchen offers top-of-the-line appliances, a black walnut island, and a cozy dining nook. The lower level adds a large family room, gym, guest suite, library, wine cellar, and Sotter’s two-story pub room. A detached four-car garage includes a workshop and additional storage.
