Set in a bucolic environment, this nine-room farm ranch was custom-built in 1990 on half an acre. The house has three zones for heat and air-conditioning, a central vacuum system, updated stainless-steel appliances. The house — about 2,800 square feet — features wood floors and two fireplaces (one brick, the other stone), as well as five bedrooms and 3-1/2 bathrooms.
The master suite is on the main level, while the other bedrooms are on the second floor. The finished basement has an 8-foot ceiling. Denise, 44, a technical support representative for a photographic company and a freelance photographer, chats about the peaceful environs.
"It’s a quite area that is not overpopulated. You’ll see deer and rabbits . . . I have beautiful landscaping with specimen trees, such as maples, blue spruce and dogwoods. I have a Japanese maple out front that is just gorgeous.
"That’s what I will miss — my trees and my perennials . . . I have a lot of rhododendrons and azaleas. . . . This house is in a nice school district, and it’s convenient to the Hamptons and the North Fork vineyards.”
