I especially appreciate the two fireplaces with wood-burning inserts; they truly contribute to the warm, inviting atmosphere one expects from a country home. The enclosed, landscaped garden serves as a natural extension of the house, featuring a south-facing terrace, a pond, a well, and secluded areas for privacy.
