The Loomis Tavern, a 1776 classic colonial, was reconstructed in its present location by noted housewright Skip Broom in the 1990's. Its idyllic waterfront setting on the serene Falls Brook tidal inlet is the ideal place to go kayaking, with access to nearby Hamburg Cove. The house is beautifully sited on its 3.6 acres, with stone walls and a sweeping lawn leading up to the home. Once inside, marvel at the many special details, including plaster walls, exquisite molding, wood beams, beautiful vintage wood floors, custom cabinetry. The home combines old world charm with new world convenience. The 5 1/2 baths throughout have been updated, as has the kitchen, with elegant marble counters & high end appliances, including Wolf, Miele & Subzero. French doors open onto the covered deck & large stone patio - the perfect place for entertaining, for enjoying a sunset, the abundant bird life & the beautiful gardens. The primary bedroom, with its magnificent barrel ceiling, has custom built in cabinets, a fireplace, an ensuite bath & walk in closet. Also on the 2nd floor are two more bedrooms, one with a fireplace & ensuite bath, the other with vaulted ceiling, a palladium style window & sliders that open onto a deck. Continuing upstairs, is a charming 4th bedroom on the 3rd level, with ensuite bath. A finished walk out lower level features a den, full bath & laundry room. The classic country barn has 4 bays, heated workshop & attic space. This is country living as its best!
