“Peacefully secluded on 1.76 acres in Belmont Hill, this serene country home is a refined adaptation of farmhouse architecture, melding the purity and precision of modern design with the warm traditions of a home. The striking 5-bedroom residence uses modern materials and advanced engineering features to create a relaxing environment both visually appealing and functional for today’s lifestyle. Large spans of glass bring in the pastoral green space. Unifying finishes are of polished concrete, walnut and maple. Inside the impressive glassed entry, a free-standing fireplace dominates the dramatic 2-story window-walled open great room at the heart of the house, encompassing the Bulthaup kitchen. Art gallery, study, private guest suite. Luxurious master suite with limestone-and-marble bath. Lower-level playroom, theater, exercise room, yoga studio, massage room and spa-like bath with whirlpool tub, steam shower and Japanese-style cold plunge tub.”
