"The home has tons of detail throughout," said listing agent Adam Hade of Houlihan Lawrence. "It's very cozy and is the best of both worlds, because you have larger elements of a modern home and great small spaces."

The one-acre setting creates privacy, as "the home is tucked down a very windy county road — one of the most picturesque roads in South Salem," Hade said.
