Unique features: Nestled in northern Carroll County, the three-story colonial has six bedrooms, five baths, three fireplaces and a spacious office for telecommuters. A private quarter-mile driveway, past an adjoining horse farm, leads to the custom-built home, with its stone veneer and wraparound front porch. A two-story foyer flows into the office, which is set apart by double-glazed French doors. There, one can work late and tumble into the first-floor bedroom without disturbing others.

The kitchen, featuring custom cabinets and a gleaming center island, leads to the pantry, which, in turn, leads to the two-car garage, making unloading groceries a breeze. Upstairs, the master suite features a bath with a vaulted ceiling, a jetted corner tub and dual shower heads. That same bedroom leads to a private covered deck that overlooks the in-ground pool and poolhouse, pergola, stone hearth and hot tub, the last of which beckons beneath a leafy arbor.

Elsewhere on the two-acre estate are a spacious workshop building and a three-stall barn, both with electricity. There’s also a treehouse for kids and wooden sheds for prospective goats and chickens (livestock not included).
