    What's special

    Rare offering of a secluded 3543 sq ft. mid-century modern home backing to 2.7 acres of wooded splendor, next to Fieldstone Golf Course.  You will enjoy watching the home’s wooded valley view evolve thru the seasons. The home’s spacious kitchen is a delight for cook and guests alike.  Its features include a 5-burner gas cooktop,  handsome soapstone counters and workspace extending 33ft to include the generously windowed informal dining area, wet bar, gas FP and sitting/ TV area - all ready for your morning coffee.  The parquet hardwood kitchen floors unite with the beamed-ceiling, parquet floored great room with its wall of windows and view of the wooded valley - all accented by recessed lighting.   A massive wood burning raised hearth FP dominates the room in cool seasons while a screened porch off the DR opens onto the spacious patio & side yard in warmer seasons when entertaining can also spill out into these areas. One half-flight of steps from the main floor leads to 4 moderately sized bedrooms and 2 full baths.  Each of the two adjoining bedrooms have non-load bearing walls which may be removed to create a larger room.   A half-flight higher leads to the vaulted master suite, large master bath with vanities and shower room.   Of note is the view from two walls of windows and the roof access for star gazing on special nights. Also on this floor is a  private office.  A half -flight of steps down from the main level is a cozy den/tv room with a Jotul wood burning stove. This room also offers a queen sized Murphy bed and an exterior door to a second small patio with FP. This level includes a large laundry/storage rm, an additional BR with a cedar closet and another full bath. The 2-story 4 car garage is a hobbyist’s dream while for day to day convenience, a carport is ideal. Walk the circular trail down to the stream and back for a dose of natural bliss. Only 15 mins from downtown Wilmington, this oasis lets you relax or entertain in nature’s calm and with complete privacy. Property offered in AS-IS condition.
