Why Not Barn Style in the Northwest Woods for $1.99M?

This place offers quite a lot for your money, we say. The listing says it's a "masterful mix of warm rustic finishes and modern luxurious amenities," with "elegant rural charm" and we agree. The kitchen, for example, combines modern appliances with a cozy-looking stone fireplace and easy chairs. (Does anyone want to venture a guess about the owner's opinion of the upcoming deer cull? That's a lotta antlers. Love the painting of Stephen Talkhouse in the kitchen.) There's a guest wing with two bedrooms with a shared bath and another bedroom with ensuite. The master suite takes up the entire second floor, with sitting room, fireplace, and soaking tub. In all, there are four bedrooms, 3.5 baths in 4000sf. Outside, there are 2.24 acres of grounds with a stone patio and gunite pool. The price seems quite reasonable—a slightly larger house with slightly less land right across the street sold for $1.99M back in September.
