You aren’t interested in this house because it is in the middle of it all. It’s not that it’s close to mass transportation, in the center of downtown, near shopping and commerce. You are interested in this house because it isn’t any of those things. This home represents peace. Quiet. A return to a life that moves a little slower than any of us are used to, and any of us like. It is closer to the earth somehow, and with that, it follows the rhythms that we seem to have lost. An acre of land feels big enough to sink into. To run your hands through rich soil and plant roots. Whether those roots belong to a robust vegetable garden or to you and the people you love is up to you. There is room for both and so much more. The land is flat, wide, and ripe with possibilities. What have you dreamed about that the confines of the city have prohibited you from? Here is where it grows. The expansive lot wraps perfectly around a home that feels just right for the space. Rooms are spacious, with fireplaces, gathering areas, and stunning views. Every window looks out to what is yours. What you built, and what will continue to be yours and to grow, if you so choose. This is a home with both history and modernity: a past and a future. Recently built but steeped in the culture and history it is surrounded by. This is the place for people to grow, go out into the world, and come back to. A spot in the world, and in time, that is so much bigger than its description. Should we talk about the four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and custom-built one-story floor plan? The chef’s kitchen that is large and welcoming and the perfect spot to gather over a massive stack of pancakes or a Thanksgiving dinner, lovingly prepared? We could, but it wouldn’t tell you everything there is to know about this home. This legacy property. This equestrian sanctuary tucked away from the world and the chaos and the noise. This is so much more than a home, and to describe it with the slick talk that real estate descriptions often use wouldn’t do it justice. This is a property you must see. Feel. Experience. This is so much more than a house. This is home.
