About this home

Welcome to this private, country-chic sanctuary where luxury living meets rural serenity! Approximately 3 acres are nestled in on a beautifully tree-lined corner lot. One acre, aside of the house, is an open grassy field for gardening, recreation, or horses, if you should desire. Another acre, aside the house, is a beautifully wooded grassy area with a park-like feel. The 3rd acre contains a custom-built, close to 6000 sqft, brick ranch home, fenced in-ground pool area, and includes an additional detached, 3 car garage with extended storage! The inside of this home meanders through open and airy rooms containing high functionality! The tiled kitchen has stainless steel appliances (including a food warmer) and ample prep space/storage. The open-concept design flows seamlessly into the expansive living room. Both the living and separate dining rooms have beautiful fireplaces that contribute class and coziness.. The bedroom wing contains four exceptionally sized bedrooms and pristine bathrooms. In fact, the home has 4.5 bathrooms in total! Part of this wing is a private owner's oasis! A rare architectural design element leads you through a huge spa/exercise area with an sunk-in whirlpool hot tub, and then up to a private, second-story staircase entirely dedicated to the luxurious primary suite! It is complete with a walk-in closet, it's own bathroom, and a breath-taking view of your pool and open field area with a pond adjacent to the property! The basement is loaded with fun and entertainment! A massive 24' x 44' game room has 2' x 26' solid hardwood wet bar, perfect for hosting large parties and a dedicated 3/4 lower-level bathroom to top it off. A charming fireplace centers the family room. It has a dry kitchenette with appliances. The basement has large storage rooms with shelving and an additional large concrete crawl space. Now on to the private backyard resort! Two sets of oversized sliding glass doors transition you directly from the main living spaces out onto a sprawling patio and an expansive in-ground pool. It is fully gated and the gardens/grass areas have a sprinkler system. This pool area is situated to have direct access to the indoor spa, spa bathroom with a sunk-in shower and 2 rainfall shower heads, and a laundry space that can accommodate your wet towels! Just head back inside for a relaxing whirlpool tub experience, finish your exercise, use the sauna, or just relax. The systems on this property are new as of 2020-2026, such as: 2 gas furnaces/AC units (zoned); 2 gas water heaters; water softener; reverse osmosis; well pressure pump; sump pump and back-up battery, ejector pump, radon mitigation system; indoor jacuzzi heater/control panel/pump; outdoor pool filter; step-in bathtub; roof; and best of all, a Sunrun Solar System was added with a backup battery, lowering the cost to run all these utilities! Buyer will assume the lease with Sunrun and the electricity cost is paid to Sunrun. The attached 2-car garage has a new garage door opener, an utility sink, and a place where these owners plugged in their electric vehicle. There were no additional electrical costs due to the solar energy. The massive detached 3-car garage with additional enclosed storage space behind it is perfect for car enthusiasts, a workshop, or storing acreage equipment. Heat is available in both garages but must be serviced and vented. SELLER IS PROVIDING A HOME WARRANTY, as well!
