The current owners of 231 Hardenburgh Road invested a lot of care and love in the gardens and bluestone patios that surround it. Flowers and bushes attract birds and butterflies, and there are two sheds. While the adorable sheds serve their utilitarian purposes well, they also serve an aesthetic one; together with the cape style home, the sheds and gardens create an impression of a comfortable homestead carved carefully from of the country landscape. This homey sanctuary is perched at the edge of a beautiful forested, private hillside. Wouldn’t it be nice to call 2.4 acres of this captivating countryside yours?

Tasteful thought and detail went into every element of designing this home - no feature was overlooked. Outside, the sage colored siding complements the landscape in every season, and the large circular driveway has plenty of room for parking, and makes plowing easy in the winter! A feature that’s easy to appreciate once the snow begins to fall.

Inside, warm natural light and Northern Maple wood flooring welcome you. The interior has a cohesiveness of design that is quite restful – it was thoughtfully devised to avoid overpowering the views of the landscape through the many windows. The common areas have a nice open flow, without sacrificing space and functionality. There’s a mudroom area at the entry, which is key for convenient country living. There’s a breakfast bar that delineates the kitchen from the dining room. This could be used traditionally or as an office/computer space - a household hub.
