Cedar House is a custom built (2006) 3 BR, 2 BA home on a quiet cul-de-sac on 1 acre of wooded privacy. This home features custom woodwork, lots of natural light, a full basement (with Bilco door access), & a spacious mudroom.

The kitchen boasts custom made cherry cabinets topped with a very unique granite countertop. The two 1st floor bedrooms share a custom full bathroom with heated ceramic tile floors and shower. The bedrooms have large lighted closets for plenty of space. The 2nd flr makes for a perfect primary suite with its own African mahogany bathroom (with whirlpool tub & heated slate floor) and bright & private study area. Each bedroom is fully insulated for heat conservation & sound deadening. The full & dry basement is fully insulated and has both interior and exterior access. There are so many exterior features that make this house virtually maintenance free - Anderson 400 series windows (low E glass), standing seam metal roof, TWP dipped cedar shakes, drain tile inside & out on the oversized footings, etc. Enjoy a cozy patio & firepit area & a private trail leading directly to thousands of acres of NYS lands & the Northville-Placid Trail.
