Description

Nestled in a peaceful and private country setting, this exceptional custom-built home offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, elegance, and thoughtful design. From the moment you arrive, it's clear that every detail has been carefully curated to create a truly special living experience. Inside, reclaimed wood walls and tongue-and-groove ceilings bring warmth and texture to the main living areas, while expansive windows fill the space with natural light. The living room, anchored by a stately wood-burning fireplace and soaring ceilings open to the second floor, creates a striking yet inviting focal point. A formal dining room and dedicated home office sit just off the foyer, offering a seamless balance of functionality and charm. The kitchen is a chef's dream—featuring leathered granite countertops, Thor appliances, custom cabinetry, a large island, and a walk-in pantry accented by a beautifully repurposed wood door. The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, privately tucked away with direct access to the pool area. It features a generous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with dual shower heads, a double vanity, and a separate water closet. Nearby, a spacious laundry room with built-ins also serves as a well-designed mudroom. Upstairs, you'll find three oversized sized guest bedrooms. One enjoys its own private ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while the remaining two share a hall bath. Additional features include two versatile bonus rooms, a secondary full laundry room, and a convenient kitchenette—perfect for extended guests or family. Step outside to a true outdoor sanctuary. A wraparound porch with a cozy fireplace overlooks the backyard, where a gunite pool with tanning ledge and hot tub awaits. You will love the outdoor kitchen that is complete with a large brick fireplace and large entertaining area. The workshop offers ample space and includes a fully appointed One-bedroom, one bath Mother-in-law suite. A second outdoor kitchen is located just off the suite making the perfect setting for entertaining on nice evenings. There is abundant storage in a separate tractor shed and storage barn. This home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of country living without sacrificing comfort or sophistication. Schedule your private tour today and discover all that this extraordinary property has to offer.
