Located on the Durham/Middlefield border, this farmhouse-style Colonial with Post & Beam Barn is for those who run from cookie cutter, and dream about beautiful, thoughtful design, custom and quality finishes, and grounds that are unmatched. Perched on 2 secluded acres with lush sweeps of lawn, magical garden pathways, pergola, stunning perennials, and multiple bluestone patios on a quiet dead-end road, this statement-making home in Middlefield is surrounded by Christmas tree farmland and offers 4,000+ sf across 4 floors. Distinguished by gorgeous wide oak flooring, vaulted spaces, and beautiful windows and skylights, this home is pristine - exterior freshly painted and newly paved driveway (2025). Enter through the unpretentious entry (aka hardworking mudroom), and enjoy multiple gathering spaces featured on the main floor including the large family room, open to the informal dining room and large chef's kitchen beyond. The kitchen storage and workspace is unrivaled, competing only with the glorious views from the sink. Features include paneled appliances, honed granite counters, gas range with griddle, vaulted ceiling with beams, and gorgeous island with built-in dining for 7. Steps away are the cheerful sunroom and all-season porch with mahogany floor. Around the corner, the large living room features a striking beadboard and coffered ceiling, custom built-ins for media and home office, and stone fireplace for cozy nights by the fire.
The second level is home to 4 bedrooms including 2 potential primary en-suites (both with large walk-in closets), and a private guest suite with barn doors and access to a beautiful bathroom with stone tiled shower and freestanding soaking tub. All full bathrooms are appointed with gorgeous stone and marble and custom-built vanities. The finished third floor offers two additional rooms up a short staircase. The heated basement offers generous space for a home gym and laundry room with party-prep kitchen and sink. Built in 2015, the post and beam barn is garage for 2 additional cars, and has a second floor loft for workshop, storage or parties! Don't miss a fully owned solar array for zero cost electricity (discretely installed), wired surround-sound throughout, front porch, central air, garage storage for 5 cars, and much more. Truly, this home will leave you wanting for nothing! Please see floor plans uploaded with attachments. Located on the edge of Durham/Middlefield border, and conveniently accessible from Main St/Rt. 17 in Durham.
