Unique features: Henry David Thoreau would like it here. Forget, for a moment, the traditional brick front home with six bedrooms and more than 7,300 square feet of living space. The setting outdoors is a naturalist’s dream, a sylvan 7 acres of woods and trails marked by a quiet spring-fed stream and a weathered footbridge where one can pause and forget the world.
The three-level Harford County home, at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac, offers its own getaway. Enter a two-story foyer, polished hardwood floors and a striking staircase. There’s a fireplace in the lofty great room, decorative wainscoting in the dining area and a walk-in pantry in the kitchen. The galley morphs into a bright and airy sunroom, with both a pellet stove and a woodsy view of the outdoors.
A first-floor suite has a soaking tub and French doors that lead to a rear deck and the beckoning landscape. An upper bedroom has a bookcase and covert panels leading to a secret room — a delight for imaginative young minds.
Other perks include a wet bar, a woodworking shop (with a wood-burning stove for one’s handicraft blunders) and a laundry room with a ceramic dog wash, should one’s pet slosh around in the stream out back. The estate is five minutes from Eden Mill Nature Center and its own environmental doings.
