THE HOME

The century farmhouse (circa 1885) has been expanded and restored with its authentic country elegance maintained.

Foyer and Gallery

The original home and new wing is joined by the main foyer with slate flooring and large gallery which opens directly onto a large patio courtyard. Off the foyer is a 2 piece Powder Room with honed marble counter top. The "new wing" was constructed in 1995.

Art Studio 30' 8" x 10' 8"

The large studio space is flooded with natural light and overlooks the main drive. Ample storage space, cleaning sink and rough wood floors.

Great Room 32'7" x 21'2"

The core of the main floor addition is the impressive Great Room with heated floors, stone fireplace in the Rumford style, multiple walk-outs, and lovely views.

Office 10' x 10'

The corner office is located to take advantage of views in 3 directions. Heated floor.

Kitchen 23'10" x 17'

The eat-in Kitchen maintains the country flare with stone fireplace, wood floors, butcher block counters and vintage-style lighting. Pantry.

Dining Room Irregular

A large room off the Kitchen. Wood floors and large windows. Wainscotting. The west end of the room leads to the screened porch.

Alongside the Dining Room is the Library with built-in bookshelves.

Screened Porch 18'4" x 11' 10"

The western facing porch is a great place to kick-back and enjoy the warmer weather. Good views over the front fields and the pond and beach below the house.

SECOND FLOOR

Bedrooms 2, 3 & 4

There are 3 bedrooms and large bathroom on the second floor of the original farmhouse. All bedrooms have windows, hardwood floors and closet/storage space. One can tell the original farm was quite prosperous in its day as the home is a full 2-storey dwelling as opposed to the 1.5 storey dwellings commonly found in the era.

Master Suite 21'10" x 21'2"

Accessed by its own staircase is the newly created Master Suite. This expansive room enjoys views in 3 directions, a large walk-in closet and ensuite bath. The double vanity found its way to Long Lane Farm from its previous use as the display counter from the village bakery in Cooksville - it has a wonderful patina complemented by the antique brass fixtures. There is also second floor laundry in the Master Suite.

LOWER LEVEL

In the lower level are a large work-out room, utility room and additional laundry room. Ample storage space.
