About 6 Summerwood Road

A Timber Frame Retreat Rooted in Nature! Designed with intention & a deep love of the natural world, this exceptional 4000 sq ft timber frame style home is the result of a clear vision to blend the quiet solitude of the woods w/the comforts of suburban living. Set on 6.6 private acres in a small, quiet association backing up to protected lands of Westledge Reservoir, the property offers privacy & a deep connection to the land. Every architectural detail was guided by the owner's desire to frame nature rather than obscure it. Each window is a living picture of forest, sky, or water. The home itself is a tribute to its surroundings: the soaring post-and-beam great room is built w/Douglas fir timbers shipped from the West Coast, while the ceiling boards are tulip poplar, cut from the very land it stands on. The great room radiates warmth w/a central soapstone wood stove & in winter, cordwood is stacked neatly on the front porch and the fire glows with comfort & memory. For 3 seasons, the screened porch becomes a haven of its own w/soaring wood ceiling & time slows as fireflies dance in the dusk & songbirds usher in the morning. The multi-lev floor plan includes 5 bdrms, the primary suite occupying its own level w/private balcony. The chef's kitchen designed for connection has Turkish marble counters & upscale appliances, all open to the dramatic dining & great rms. The walk-out lower lev offers daylight-filled bedrms & fam rm. This is a place to live deeply & live well!
