Multigenerational living among country solitude
“You feel like you're a million miles away from it all, but everything you could need is just five minutes away.” That is what originally attracted the current owners to this ranch home in the quiet country setting of Easton in 2011. It wasn’t long before they completely remodeled the entire property in 2013, creating a terrific space for multi- generational living. The result is a finely appointed, five- bedroom home offering 5,554 square feet of living space complete with a lower- level in- law suite with elevator, and a roughed in apartment/ office above the garage that is ready to be finished.
The home was designed to accommodate stylish living and comfortable entertaining among large open spaces that flow together to allow large family gatherings. “It is deceiving from the road, but you are immediately amazed at the openness when you walk in,” said the owners. Double mahogany doors create an impressive entrance into the home, whose attention to detail is immediately evident in the living room where a granite stone fireplace and tray ceiling create an inviting atmosphere that opens into a spacious dining room.
The heart of the home lies in the light- filled kitchen and great room. An entertainer’s dream, the space is distinguished by a stunning vaulted ceiling with 150- year- old beams that the owners had reclaimed from a barn. The kitchen boasts leather touch granite counters, bamboo cabinetry, Wolf and Sub- Zero appliances and an enormous walnut island with two separate dining areas – traditional and bar style. The backsplash is all reclaimed wood as well, some well over 150 years old, giving further depth to the room’s charm and character.
The black walnut island was among the owner’s favorite gathering spots as it provided a beautiful view of the natural surroundings

through the sliding glass doors that open to the covered deck. The open great room allows for an easy flow for entertaining and is showcased by a corner fireplace and tasteful bar area with dual wine chillers and audio system. The expansive covered deck spans the entire back of the home and has been a source of constant enjoyment for the owners. “Morning coffee, watching the sunrise, and listening to all of the birds is our favorite way to start each day,” the owners stated. “Stargazing by the firepit was also a great way to spend an evening,” they added.
