When you walk in the front door, the artful design and carefully curated surroundings immediately banish the outside world. The open floor plan and copious windows bring in the sunshine and natural light. Begin in the spacious living room with woodburning fireplace that opens into the family room. The living room flows naturally to the family room with its own fireplace, and it is surrounded by windows offering beautiful views of the grounds, the heated saltwater pool, and pool cabana with plenty of character. Wander into the open kitchen with its lively yellow tile floors, high end appliances and large island with ample room for eating at the bar. The kitchen opens into a large dining area making it easy to entertain guests while cooking in the kitchen. Flowing off the kitchen and dining area are two bedrooms and two full baths. The first bath has adorable koi fish tiles on the shower floor. Sliding glass doors in the primary bedroom provides great natural light as well as access to a small private garden and sitting area. The ensuite primary bath is separated with sliding restored garage doors from the original home. The bath offers a luxurious soaking tub and shower. Plenty of room for guests and family are found upstairs with three bedrooms and one full bath. The home sits on 5.1 acres of beautiful natural woods,
manicured lawns and gardens and a large, heated saltwater pool made for lazy days of relaxation and fun. The renovated pool house, originally a working horse barn, has a unique south of the border charm with seating areas, running hot and cold water, electricity, outdoor shower and bar that can be opened to the outside to serve cocktails to friends and family. Cars can be housed in a very large two car garage that has an added bonus room upstairs fully finished with electricity, heat and carpeting. The home has been an active permitted Airbnb for several years providing an income option if that is desired. If you are feeling adventurous access to the Appalachian Trail and Fitzgerald Falls is less than 2 miles away, or play a round of golf at The Golf Club of Mansion Ridge, enjoy the wonderful coffee and food at Village Hands Cafe, visit the adorable hamlet of Sugar Loaf, take in the winter sports at Mt. Peter Ski Area and the area wineries, orchards, and farm stands. And of course, just a short drive up North and you can enjoy all the country charm of Upstate New York. The home is one hour from the GW bridge in NYC. 893 Laroe Road is more than a place to live, it is a place to create, relax, connect with friends and family and enjoy what life has to offer.
