The c. 1825 Deemer Homestead is the quintessential stone manor house sited on 21.6 verdant acres, complete with original charm and updated and renovated to perfection, offering a sophisticated ambiance and a modern palette of amenities. The exterior spaces are as comfortable and splendid as the interior, with flagstone walks meandering through gardens and terraces creating outdoor rooms, including a fireplace sitting area behind the stone summer kitchen and an incredible 23x11 gazebo built on old stone ruins, with exposed beams and bead-board ceiling, overlooking the stone-wall enclosed 31x12 heated pool. This classic and light-filled center hall colonial welcomes you with Moravian tiles at the threshold and 9' ceilings, rich random-width pine floors and double-paned 9-over-6 windows which frame the serene rustic views. Four refurbished wood-burning fireplaces add to the warmth, as does the efficient 5-zone heating system! The floor plan is ideal for entertaining with formal living room with crown molding and separate family room with a wall of built-ins. The dining room with original walk-in fireplace, pie stairs to a guest room, paneling and built-in cabinet opens to the side flagstone terrace offering views of the distant hillside. The kitchen is a high-end granite and stainless steel delight with exposed stone wall and bead-board ceiling, and opens to another flagstone terrace, the gazebo and pool. Turned stairs lead to three generously-sized bedrooms and gorgeous hall bath with pedestal sink and glass shower. The finished attic offers a fourth bedroom and charming bath with claw-foot tub, exposed stone accents and skylights. There is a main floor laundry/mud room/office, and a detached over-sized 2-car garage. Located within minutes of I78 and shopping, the location is ideal for weekends and full-time.
