High-quality, spacious custom home built by John Bastian sits on a knoll. More than half of this park-like property is SECLUDED. 4.87 fully fenced level to gently rolling acres. Quiet, rural, 6-7 min's to 6th & G Streets! A horse barn once stood where the home is now & a hitching post near the front of the house has grown into two oaks over the past century. ****Upstairs, the family room has a bay window seat, impressive floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace w/insert & wall-to-wall raised hearth made of very unique petrified wood in turquoise & rust colors. In winter, heating the upstairs w/the efficient insert & blower keeps the entire living space warm & the power bills low. Upper floor has cathedral ceilings w/exposed beams along entire western length of the house. Living room on eastern side also vaulted w/exposed beams. All BR closets have mirrored slider doors & are cedar-lined. Two bay-recessed sliding doors in the DR & master BR open onto wraparound deck. The deck's entertainment area is covered by roof, can be used in all seasons. Lawn's in-ground sprinklers on timer. At night, dusk-to-dawn & motion detector lights go on automatically all around the house. The ceiling of every room in the house has smoke & motion detectors. Surveillance system, skylights, ceiling fans, 220 on both floors. Large laundry room w/picture window has plenty of space for exercise equipment, hobbies or office, lots of cabinets, closets & counters. Walk-in pantry/storage room has breaker boxes, alarm controls & lots of shelving. ****The daylight basement including garage has the same square footage as upstairs, is completely finished except for flooring. Downstairs has the following: hobby/crafts room w/2 walls full of shelving & raised hearth & chimney for a woodstove; private, self-contained 700SF mother-in-law or rental unit w/kitchen, full bath, chimney & venting for woodstove, & private entrance; double-deep garage for 4 cars, utility sink, counter & cabinets; large room w/HVAC closet, water heater, adjacent 20'-long storage closet. ****Plenty of open space for RV & equipment parking, hookups to power, water & septic near the garage & studio apartment. The 40'x60' deer-fenced garden enclosure w/water could also be a large dog run. All power lines on the property are buried. The home's recent updates include highly efficient Rheem HVAC, luxury wood-burning insert, stainless steel chimney liner in double chimney, fresh interior paint on both floors, garage door openers, 50-gal. water heater, complete perimeter fence, security gate, & thickest-available LVP 6'x9" oak plank flooring throughout upper floor & interior stairs (water- & scratch-proof, cork-backed for quiet & insulation). A 7/17/14 well flow test shows 13 GPM & the water tastes great. Filtration/softening not necessary, although new whole-house water filter & under-kitchen-sink reverse osmosis system were installed 5/25/17. ****Your family & critters will love the freedom and privacy of this unusual country home. There's nothing else on the market quite like it. The flat to rolling grounds w/well-spaced trees give the property a unique character and expansive feeling of open space, making it feel much larger than it is. The home sits well away from the road up a long driveway, w/only a small part visible from Azalea Drive. Most of the southern half of the property is completely secluded & can't be seen unless you're standing on the property. ****The best feature is the land itself, its perfect location, 5 park-like acres that feel like 8, breathtaking scenery w/many majestic oaks, nowhere so dense to be a fire hazard or block YOUR view, yet enough to shield the home from the road -- the perfect landscape. All vistas around the house are picture postcards, no neighbors in sight, just beautiful, pastoral settings.
