POETRY OF NATURE - Tucked within the storybook enclave of Van Houten Fields, where time seems to slow and creativity has long found fertile ground, stands a home of rare warmth, soul and significance.

Now, beautifully reimagined with thoughtful renovations and a designers touch, 9 Van Houten Fields invites you to write your next chapter in a setting where history, nature and elegance meet.

The chefs kitchen is a true culinary dream, featuring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone-clad range hood, rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops,
