The enchanting 1800s converted Sparks school house is well-sited atop a gentle knoll. Follow the tree-lined driveway to a secluded haven. The architect-designed house and gardens create a seamless blend of interior and outdoor spaces. An in-ground pool is perfect for a swim after work or hosting a garden party on the luscious grounds. Designed to reflect a Tuscan streetscape, the interior architecture features exposed stone walls, large windows allowing natural light to enter from all angles, and a blue-painted ceiling to mimic the sky. The triangular pediment feature in the family room recurs on the end walls of the bathroom, the hallway to the staircase, and on the pool house. Originally renovated in the early 1990s, the home has undergone recent renovations with the addition of the mud room with closets, cupboards, and bookshelves and the two-car garage. The finest of materials were used in the renovations, with careful attention to the high-end appliances, marble bathroom, leather-style granite counters in the mud room, custom forged handrails, and more. Propane furnace and central air conditioning systems were replaced in 2024. Pool and patio renovation were completed in 2024. The original schoolhouse windows were repurposed to the pool house. Follow the stone pathways through the gardens which offer year-round glimpses of color and texture. Plans for an addition will be passed along to the buyer.
