195 piedmont avenue

Surrounded by beauty, a unique gem stands on a charming lane of The First Washington, surveyed by George in 1749. The land across the lane harbors a lovely pond, its surrounding walking trail fully landscaped by The Inn at Little Washington. On another side lays a meadow in permanent Conservation Easement, while an attractive fence preserves harmony and privacy. Oak logs, harvested and cured locally, were notched in Pennsylvania in the classic German style. These logs comprise the gracious living room with stone fireplace and the similar sized primary suite above. Ceiling beams are routed on edges and supported by a massive central support beam. Floors of handsome cherry. A spectacular kitchen, with adjoining comfortable dining space for 8, offers granite surfaces, a spacious pantry, and access to a private porch overlooking the terraced gardens. The front reception hall, custom oak staircase, and a guest bedroom with tiled bath complete the first floor. The primary suite delights with more than ample closets, appealing quartz vanity in the tiled bath and separate laundry. Nine-foot ceilings prevail. The spacious front porch provides views of the pond and meadow. Beneath this porch and partially below grade, stone arches add a classic look and safeguard the winding stone staircase and openings for a third patio below. A discreet entry leads to a wonderful two room home office or in-law / family / guest suite with full bath. Separate studio building for the artist or professional office and custom garden sheds. A whole-house generator, high-speed internet, gas furnace, central air, excellent landscaping and abundant charm.
