A rare opportunity is now available to own a home in the Historic Village of Carversville where an exceptionally designed structure reflects historic and current character. This pristine residence is being offered for the first time. Tucked within the storybook surroundings of Carversville, a nationally registered historic village recognized for its preserved architecture and strong sense of community, this residence offers a place to enjoy a slower pace without sacrificing modern comfort. Known as "Stover Hill House", this renovated and expanded carriage house was inspired by historic design, built by well known craftsman Robert Johnson and thoughtfully reimagined for expansion in a collaboration between the owners and acclaimed architect Ellen Happ, whose work is celebrated for seamlessly blending restoration with renewed purpose. A welcoming approach framed by mature trees, perennial gardens, and rustic hardscape sets a tone for what awaits inside. Rich hardwood floors, shiplap accent walls, custom made doors, craftsman hardware and exceptional millwork create warmth and character. There is abundant natural light throughout. Gather around the fireplace for lively conversation or slip away onto private porches overlooking the village. The open and comfortable sun-lit kitchen-dining-living space spills out through French doors to a handsome covered porch and flagstone patio surrounded by a lush meadow, garden with stone wall, birdhouses and apiary. The kitchen balances beauty and function with its ample custom cabinetry by Village Cabinetry, a striking prep island with a countertop made of Cherry harvested from the property, premium stainless steel appliances, including DCS commercial range and hood, Liebherr refrigerator, honed and leathered granite countertops, and a barn-door entrance leading to a cute butler's pantry with it's own oven, sink, dishwasher and marble countertops.
