Land with Home for Sale in Effort, Pennsylvania

Polished, with understated notes of elegant, crisp, and luxurious, this custom crafted Tudor home and vineyard known as Tutto Niente is a master class in creating the perfect blend. The quarter mile driveway winds through tall trees before rounding a corner to reveal a stunning panoramic view over 55 acres of big sky and Pocono Mountains. Designed and crafted as the family home, the owner/builders did much of the work themselves using materials sourced from the land whenever possible. Custom millwork, unique decorative paint treatments, textured walls, and magnificent lighting are just a few of the hallmarks throughout. Every room of the house features radiant heat floors for year round comfort. Guests enter through a round entryway foyer which opens in turn to the vast 2-story great room with a massive Indian granite fireplace. Nearby is the media room, with a floating oak ceiling and velvet walls, and a spacious dining room with domed gold-leaf ceiling. The newly renovated extensive modern kitchen will impress even the most discriminating of chefs with 2 quartz islands, high end Viking and Thermador appliances and a spacious cocktail wine bar area perfect for entertaining. A step down leads to the cozy family room, with a gas fireplace and curved mahogany wall with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors looking out over the vineyard. The main staircase, inspired first by the Governor's Mansion in Connecticut and then renovated with inspiration from the 1920s Empire Hotel in Manhattan, is custom crafted with mahogany newel posts and steel balusters with brass accents. Upstairs, the primary suite is a feast for the senses upon entering the warm and spacious sitting room with gas fireplace. A reclaimed glass wall serves as a room divider to the bedroom with a barrel ceiling painted in a shimmering harlequin pattern and a private balcony, and a 3-part bath with soaking tub nestled within the turret. A recently renovated guest suite is on this level, as well as a third suite and two large bedrooms that share an additional recently renovated hall bath. The finished lower level includes a kitchenette, recreation room, den and full bath. This thoughtfully designed, custom built home overlooks a beautifully tended vineyard and is surrounded by extensive acreage, long-range vistas, and inspiring sunrises that change daily with each season. Raise a glass to the elegance of Tutto Niente!
