Property details
About 171 Cross Hwy
Exquisite remodel & expansion of accomplished architect's own home, resulting in unmatched perfection both inside & out. In her own words: "As an architect, I saw 171 Cross Highway as an unpolished gem in a beautiful setting...virtually no part of the house was left untouched, and much of the landscape too." This graceful home is set back privately on 2.21 level acres with stone entry pillars; new Victorian style porch w/swing & ceiling fan; Hardie board siding, architectural roof shingles, PVC trim, & virtually all new window/doors. The home's adjacency to a lovely pond was paramount. The restored stone terrace at the pond's edge is now the perfect retreat for spotting great blue herons, geese, ducks, & more. Sparkling new in-ground, heated pool, w/blue-stone coping & patio, gazebo & classic New England style fence w/climbing roses. Total 5,072 sf on 3 finished levels w/ 4BR & 2/2 baths. Highest attention to detail: window & door trims inspired by 1800s craftsmanship; solid brass egg-shaped doorknobs; large expanses of windows for pond views; new library w/custom crafted shelving/cabinets; state of the art new kitchen w/antique 1870's Gothic window high in the cathedral ceiling, quartz counters, large center island, 6 burner gas range, 2 ovens, 2 fridges, 2 dishwashers, & new walk-through butler's pantry; new luxe primary suite, spa bath, & dressing area; plus high end lower level remodel featuring dramatic media/billiards room, spacious office/studio, fitness & half bath.
