First, step inside the spacious front hall beside a grand reception room which welcomes you with its wood-burning fireplace and high ceilings, then explore the living zones that follow, each with impressive comfortable proportions and northern mountain views. A music room/sitting room and casual meals area complement a generous family room whose wood-burning heater and brick chimney warm this home's heart. Beautiful pink Indian slate flooring runs throughout, surprisingly easy care.
