451 Fairbairn Road, Verulam

Description

Approached on a driveway lined with Autumn Blaze maples, 451 Fairbairn Road is a tranquil sanctuary offering sweeping views over its 62 acres of rolling pastures, with groomed trails through mixed forest, 3 fenced pastures and the 10-acre wild apple orchard. Inside the 3000+ sq.ft. home, the main floor features formal dining and living rooms on either side of a central oak staircase. The dining room is flooded with natural light and the living room offers sophisticated comfort around a cast iron hearth and propane fireplace. An open-concept kitchen with custom cabinetry flows into a welcoming family room, with entry to a long screened-in porch. A west-facing sunroom features floor-to-ceiling windows, anchored by a Napoleon propane fireplace with live-edge surround, exiting out to a covered porch. The mudroom includes heated ceramic tile floors and a 2-piece powder room. Upstairs you'll find a large primary suite with walk-in closet and renovated ensuite bathroom with freestanding tub and quartz double vanity. The 2 additional upstairs bedrooms share a second, fully-renovated bathroom with walk-in shower and new vanity. A private office boasts sound-reducing glass walls and a Juliet balcony with views over open pasture. A cozy area at the top of the stairs, currently a reading nook, can easily be converted into a 4th bedroom. The lower level has a laundry room and plenty of space for storage, gym or pantry. A heated double garage with automatic doors and workshop is accessible from within the home. For ultimate relaxation, you'll find a custom outdoor shower and wet sauna. A wraparound porch circles the entire house with views over the mature perennial gardens. Equestrian features include a 180 x 90 riding arena and 60 x 45 barn (previously with 3 stalls which are easily converted back) and tack room. The property is currently a member of The Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program that offers a significant tax reduction.
