Description

Your privacy is waiting just beyond those trees. Set back from the roadway is this breathtaking property which includes an amazing 3 bedrooms 3 bath home with private entrance. Upon entering the property, you are taken through a winding tree-lined driveway and your stress melts away as you pull up to the home. All updates in this meticulous and well-cared home have been inspired and designed by the homeowners themselves which have added a piece of their exceptional personal style. The landscaping has been well-thought-out and is breathtaking with truly impressive views in every direction. The amazing gardens (with flowers that bloom throughout the seasons), trees, bushes, and pathways invite you to enjoy every bit of this large almost one-acre property. Leading to the front entrance is an expansive paver porch, surrounded by a half wall and large enough for all your outdoor furnishings. The connecting paver pathway takes you to a favorite gathering place where you will find another large patio which includes a pergola and outdoor fireplace. Here you can sit back and watch the deer, rabbits, foxes, and birds while enjoying a relaxing evening fire. Peeking through the trees of this private side patio you will see the 16x36 in-ground pool and pool house surrounded by a pristine vinyl privacy fence. The pool is surrounded by rhododendrons and hydrangeas that when blossoming is a spectacular sight to see from both the house and the pool.As you enter the home from the front porch, you are greeted with gleaming hardwood floors that move throughout the main floor. To your left, you will see an open kitchen and dining room floor plan that has been completely updated by the homeowners. The kitchen has beautiful slate floors and dark maple cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers which surround the entire kitchen. Stunning, dark, rich granite countertops flow over to the custom island. Included is a built-in microwave, double ovens, and two-drawer independently operated dishwasher to help with all your entertainment needs. The large main-floor laundry room with built-in cabinets has plenty of space including separate folding, hanging, basket, and hamper areas. Next to the laundry room is a spacious updated full bath with a walk-in shower. Also, on the main floor, is a large family room with plenty of open space for entertaining around your indoor fireplace. The far end of the family room has a sliding glass door that opens into a beautiful all-glass sunroom leading out to the side patio and outdoor fireplace. This amazing view can be seen all the way from the kitchen. As you move down the hallway, passing one bedroom along the way, you will find your large master suite with room enough for a king-size bed, seating area, and all your furnishings. Attached to the master is your completely updated and tiled master bathroom with custom vanity, double sinks, and radiant heat. As you enter the basement you will see a large open space that includes a game room with pool table, (included with the home), a workout area, and a movie theater. The added bonus to the basement is the two extra bedrooms and a large storage room with built-in shelves. Please note that the basement has no egress windows, is as-is, and there are no permits. The home includes a 26x24 attached garage for your vehicles, a detached shed with an overhead garage door perfect for all your lawn equipment, raised garden beds, and monitoring video cameras.
