Across the hall is a half bath with front-loading washer and dryer. Sonos sound system fills the entire main living area with music.

The luxurious first floor primary bedroom features a king size bed and spa-like white marble en suite bathroom complete with oversized tub, separate shower and double sinks.

The large deck extends across the front of the house, from great room to master bedroom, with sliding door access from both, offering elevated views of the meadow and surrounding woods. The ridge line of East Mountain State Forest is visible through the trees to the West.

The second floor features the cozy "tree-tops suite" with queen bed and adjacent full bath. The wide hallway contains an alcove with a Sharper Image massage chair, and leads to a roomy "Kids' Dormintory" with twin-over-full bunk beds, a queen bed, and separate twin-size built-in window bed. Perfect for children to play and hang out!
