Drive down a rustic gravel lane to your peaceful half-acre...yet remain conveniently central in the city. Inspired by farmhouses in southern France, this beloved home was designed by architect Charles Downing and built by award winning green builder, KZ Smith. Secluded from the street, the light-filled entry opens to a white oak staircase with finely crafted millwork. Walk through the library into the kitchen, look out your window to fields beyond the organic raised bed gardens. Equipped with professional grade Thermador ovens, a 5 burner gas cooktop and farmhouse sink, entertaining is relaxed with room for friends around a large island with prep sink. Generous storage space and pull-out pantry shelves are tucked in a wall of custom cabinets which include writing desk, files, and printer space. Selected for sustainability, energy efficient insulated low-E high altitude large casement windows flood the home with natural light. Yard is professionally landscaped with low-maintenance xeriscape perennials and mature trees. Enjoy breakfast on your flagstone patio courtyard. Dog lovers take note: built-in dog shelter with a double security dog door opens into the mudroom from the enclosed yard. Staying fit comes naturally as you walk year-round on the beautiful Highline Canal Trail just a few steps away. A special opportunity for central convenience with a peaceful rural experience.

Additional note about the sitting room/kitchen/great room area: a finished space with exposed wood beams is present above the finished high ceiling for an optional design. Photos available in home on kitchen counter.
