Property Description
Imagine a converted 19th century carriage barn with attached stables in a European countryside setting, surrounded by open meadows, lush foliage and walking pathways, and find yourself at this fabulous picturesque 2.2-acre property with 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths including a 1st floor Guest Suite in the heart of Gwynedd Valley. Situated down a long road, far from the street, this extraordinary renovation completed in 2011 was designed by renowned architect Archer & Buchanan & constructed by EC Trethewey to create an exciting open floor plan composed of high ceilings with exposed beams & gorgeous amenities. The exterior faade is stucco over masonry with a cedar shake roof & 3 cupolas w/spires. A circular drive with ample excess parking leads to a gated courtyard entrance. The breathtaking, charming cobblestone courtyard features a center fountain, 2 gravel areas for plants or sculptures, covered porches & 3 stable entry doors to the barns. The front door opens to a vestibule leading to the main living area of the 1st floor, w/Kitchen, Dining Area & Great Room all open to each other as one combined space, w/extra-high ceilings, exposed beams & featuring a radiant-heated stained concrete floor.

Both rooms are open to the fabulous Great Room w/stunning custom, extra-large, wood-burning fireplace with raised limestone hearth and wood mantel. This exciting space includes multiple seating areas plus a hidden wet bar w/granite counter & copper sink.
