Antique Perfection with Separate Guest House/Barn on pastoral acreage! Fully rebuilt in 2006 to exacting standards while maintaining the original charm and timeless features of architectural importance, 898 Cross Highway is pure delight. The 3 bedroom main house boasts 5 fireplaces, antique wide board floor, and soaring ceilings throughout. The newly redesigned Carrara Kitchen with inset white wood and glass cabinets has top luxury appliances (AGA cooker, Wolf induction cooktop & convection oven, Subzero, Miele, etc.), 2 sinks including an antique farmhouse wall mount console sink, wood burning fireplace, beams, glorious natural light, and a French door to the covered porch. The Living Room shares space with the Dining Room with French doors leading to the porch. The Reading Room is quaint with its darling fireplace and glimpsing view at the original front door and the new entry hall. The finished Lower Level adds a mudroom and a Family Room with full bath and a walkout to the relaxing terrace with fountain. Upstairs the Primary and jack-and-jill bedrooms are generous in size and have vaulted ceilings adding to the home's allure. Featured in CTC&G for it's dramatic and inspired interior design, the Guest House/Barn, nearly 1100sf w/antique beams, was completely reimagined from it's original purpose (horse barn and stables) to its current use as an artist's studio and impressive hospitality space for overflow guests.
