This cross gabled farmhouse was built in 2006 by its artisan craftsman owner, expanding upon the original foundation of a dwelling previously occupied by the caretaker of Arthur Miller's residence. The home was designed to leverage distant views east that stretch across thousands of acres of forested land to ridgelines in the towns of Woodbury and Bethlehem. The owner harvested and milled trees found locally to construct the flooring, stairs, cabinetry, interior doors and most of the finish moldings, creating exceptional detail and character rarely found at this price point. No less impressive is the handsome and considerable stonemasonry he crafted, surrounding the house and connecting its points of entry to exterior living spaces. All three bedrooms have windows facing the long views with both the primary suite and open kitchen/dining space featuring french doors to the outdoor stone terrace extending toward the panoramic scenery. Magnificent living room with granite framed wood burning fireplace and a flat screen TV cabinet above the mantle that is flanked by built-in bookshelves. Large main level den/office and dedicated pantry with sink, wine fridge and game freezer. Second floor office could also be used for overflow guests. Savor the secret lifestyle sauce located in Roxbury's coveted southeast hill country that has drawn luminaries past and present, including Miller, Monroe, Widmark, Matthau, Calder, McCourt, Hoffman, Rayburn, Reed, Bushnell, Leoni & Ecklund.
