DESCRIPTION
Striking woodland home in Wilmington

Tired of looking at houses ordered out of a catalogue? Everyone who walks into this house immediately says how beautiful and unique it is! They usually mention the fantastic natural lighting, high ceilings and the continuity of style and high quality materials as you move from room to room. Copper, local wood, and stone have been tastefully used to accent many different features of the home.

Built in 2006-7 and situated on 12.5 private, forested acres with a small stream running through, this house features 1,612 square feet of living space, plus a full, unfinished basement that could become an additional living area if desired. The first level features a spacious and cozy living/dining area with an open floor plan and fantastic light. The floor is birch and it is gorgeous! This room also features an artisan-crafted stone hearth with a Jotul woodstove. The large kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a hammered copper sink in the island and maple cabinets, as well as several custom made hardwood shelves. You'll really appreciate the large mudroom with built in storage area and ski racks, which provide ample room to store outdoor clothing and accessories.

Walk up the gorgeous cherry and copper stairwell, past the well-lit landing to find two bedrooms off a small and open hallway. The master bedroom has lofty 12 foot cathedral ceilings, a sizable walk-in closet and French doors opening onto a walk-out balcony overlooking the yard. You will find it impossible not to walk out on the balcony in the morning and enjoy a view of the Jay range, while listening to the daily symphony of birds! The bathroom is delightfully spacious and features a large tiled shower with dual heads and a huge bathtub set below a five foot wide double casement window, surrounded by slate tiles. All fixtures are Kohler and lights (as in much of the rest of the house), are from Hubbarton Forge in nearby Vermont. The second story also has a 10 x 10 outdoor porch in the front that is the perfect place for sitting around with friends, enjoying a drink and looking up at the forested slopes of the Stephenson range! If one were so inclined, this porch could be easily converted to a third bedroom.

In addition to the house, there are two sizeable post and beam sheds. One is enclosed for storing tools and garden equipment, while the other is for firewood. There are established perennial gardens, vegetable beds, and cultivated berry bushes. The driveway is short enough to not be bothersome, while still long enough to allow for great privacy. The house is within walking distance of a state trailhead offering hiking and skiing on thousands of acres of state land. Whiteface Ski Mountain is six miles up the road. The trout-filled West Branch of the Ausable is even closer and downtown Lake Placid is a 20 minute drive! This house also lies along a popular bicycling route. The APA permit for the property allows for the construction of two additional buildings. This is a rare opportunity to own an enchanting custom home set among some of the most beautiful mountains and forests of the Adirondacks!
