This Modern Farmhouse is Loaded with Upgrades and Comfortable Style on 3 Acres in Greenfield
This 5 year-young custom ranch features an efficient and thoughtful floorplan, striking design and impressive craftsmanship in a private setting just 6 mi. to downtown Saratoga.
Entry: A stamped concrete sidewalk leads to the oversized covered front porch with Douglas fir posts and space for multiple sitting areas. The front double Thermatru doors are ¾ glass offering you a peek of the interior. Inside the two-story foyer the 5” natural maple hardwood floors begin and run in every direction throughout the home. On left is a custom wainscot wall with cast iron hooks sourced from the West Coast and overhead a large window allows natural light in and a dramatic Pottery Barn iron chandelier hangs between two custom oak beams.
Dining/Living Areas: On right the open, generously sized dining room easily holds a table for 10-12 and can be as casual or formal as you’d like it. Large windows look to the front yard and a Pottery Barn 48” chandelier gives a warm and timeless look.
In the living room, transom windows sit above two sets of double windows flanking the gas 36” fireplace with bluestone hearth, shiplap wall surround and custom oak floating mantle. HDMI cable is hardwired into the wall for TV, if desired. The living area overlooks the backyard, offers recessed lighting, and is well-proportioned to fit a large sectional sofa or individual pieces. All of it is wide open to the kitchen.
Kitchen: A real stunner for its beauty and elevated functionality, this kitchen features white stacked Kraft maid shaker style cabinetry on the perimeter with glass upper cabinets stretching to the ceiling. Across, the island is ready to work – or entertain. Made of stained alder wood cabinets, it holds a Kohler farmhouse sink with pull-down industrial faucet. A Bosch dishwasher is at the ready on your left and a large trash/recycling slide out sits on the opposite side. The white quartz countertop unites both sides of the kitchen and the overhang provides seating/dining space for 5 stools. Overhead, two oversized glass Pottery Barn pendants add ambiance and task lighting.
Additional appliances include a GE Monogram refrigerator and 5-burner propane gas range w/ oven. A clean white subway tile backsplash with contrasting grout lines the walls and under-cabinet lighting sets the mood. Above the range is an original, custom-built oak chimney style range hood that vents to the outside. Recessed lighting makes it easier to prep, cook, and clean.
Pantry: Through the sliding custom-crafted oak door you’ll find a sultry walk-in pantry with open shelves lining each wall and coordinating base cabinets that hold a drawer microwave and a second full GE Monogram oven. A window looks perfectly to the front yard and a coordinating Pottery barn fixture hangs above. Butcher block countertops are ready to be put to task.
Mudroom & Powder Bathroom: A brick-inspired tiled flooring runs from the two-car garage door throughout the mudroom with built-in custom oak bench and shiplap wall with shelf above, hooks for hanging and storage underneath. A hall leads to the half-bathroom with wall mounted Kohler sink with exposed plumbing, floating shelf below and ship lap wall detail.
Laundry: The hall ends at the large laundry room with cabinetry, butcher block countertop, porcelain farm sink with Antique Farmhouse pendant overhead and space for front-loading washer/dryer under the window. A very large closet waits to house your cleaning products/storage. Wall mounted drying rack and hamper hooks add even more efficiency to this killer laundry room.
Primary Suite: A glass transom window tops the entry to the primary suite. The 9’ ceilings rise to cathedral height in this stunning retreat and beams intersect the peak with a matte black chandelier suspended for ambiance. A shiplap accent wall offers gooseneck reading lights that can easily fit up to a King-sized bed between. Large windows look out to the backyard and a transom window adds natural multi-dimensional light over the bed. A custom-crafted oak barn door adorns the entry to the primary bathroom.
EnSuite Bath: This retreat features a beautiful vintage tile floor running between the freestanding tub, walk-in subway tile shower with niche, built-in bench and matte black hardware with custom glass door. A double Pottery Barn vanity with marble countertop and porcelain undermount sinks sits under a pair of gooseneck lights and mirror. There is a private commode with transom window above the door.
The primary walk-in closet is off the bathroom with continued hardwood floors and recessed lighting. It’s well appointed with a custom designed shelving system with ample drawers and hanging space.
Additional Bedrooms: Off the living room is a uniquely designed wing with two additional bedrooms, each boasting a transon window over the door, more hardwood floors and a walk-in closet with laminate shelving. They’re separated by a nook featuring a custom built-in desk with open shelving and shiplap accent above it opposite the main full bathroom with tile flooring and tub surround, another Pottery Barn farmhouse style vanity with marble top and undermount sinks. This loop can be entered by either end of the hall, with a closet on each side: One is for coats, one is for linens.
Bonus Room: Follow the staircase up from the mudroom to a lovely finished bonus room with multi-dimensional light, more hardwood floors and a well-appointed full ensuite bathroom including a tiled shower, and wall-mounted sink. This versatile space makes a perfect office, guest suite, playroom or add a closet to make a full-time bedroom!
Basement/Mechanicals: The unfinished sprawling basement offers endless opportunities for additional space. Mechanicals are housed here including a 200-amp electrical panel, a full home automatic backup generator transfer switch, high-efficiency Carrier propane-fired forced-air furnace, a full-house air exchanger, an on-demand Navien water heater, and a well pressure tank. Two full-egress windows are included at opposite ends of the basement to allow you the right to finish it off safely, if desired. There is central air conditioning as well. The home has a drilled well and standard septic tank and leach field run from the side of the home toward woods. The propane tank is owned by the sellers and buried.
Backyard: The covered back porch off the kitchen features a ceiling fan and offers great privacy with a front row seat to nature – and your own oasis. It could easily be screened in, if desired. Step down to the rectangular, heated pool by Casual Living, perfectly sized for relaxation and entertainment. It’s easy to maintain at 4’ deep throughout and is encircled in a generous stamped, stained concrete patio and enclosed with an iron fence with a grassy area. A rustic staircase of stacked boulders leads to the backyard firepit which is lit by hanging lights for your summer evenings under the stars.
Exterior: Strikingly designed with a high contrast exterior, this modern farmhouse is beautifully trimmed with low-maintenance finishes. Upgraded, insulated 12” white vinyl board-and-batten vertical siding and horizontal siding is contrasted by gorgeous black Pella windows that offer the same black finish inside. On the front, Douglas fir corbel accents and posts add warmth and character. Both porches and sidewalk are stamped, stained concrete that mimics stone and is low-maintenance. Standing seam metal roof sections on the porch and windows compliment the black architectural shingled main roof.
Garages: A two-car, insulated, sheet rocked garage is attached to the home with an 8’ overhead door and gooseneck lights above it. In addition, there is a standalone third car garage that is finished the same way and is set up to hold an electric car charger. It makes great space for toys, classic car or could be a gym or golf simulator space! A shed also sits in the back corner for yard tools, lawn mower etc.
Location: The house is set back 150 feet down a blacktopped driveway on a quiet dead-end road. Enjoy peaceful country living just 6 miles to Downtown Saratoga Springs in the heart of Greenfield Center. This home is in the Town of Greenfield and Saratoga School District, just under a mile from the Award-winning Greenfield Elementary School. Also within a mile or so you’ll find the town post office, Stewarts, Greenfield Animal Hospital, Fierro’s Pizza, Greenfield Wine & Liquor, Mihalek’s Garage and other businesses all less than a mile away. A weekly farmers market takes place all summer long and the town offers wonderful youth recreation programs and community events, the Brookhaven Golf Course, and many community activities throughout each year. Pickleball courts are coming soon!
The Builder: Cartier Construction Co. is a custom builder specializing in design/build from concept to completion to create a one-of-a-kind home that reflects their lifestyle and personalities.
