If you've been waiting for a home that feels like a weekend escape every day of the week this is it. Set back on roughly five wooded acres with a long private drive, a circular entry, and a gentle creek below the trees, this custom 4-bed/3-bath home balances warm character with serious functionality. Sunlight, space, and smart upgrades are everywhere: a vaulted great room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a true cook's kitchen with granite counters and a stone breakfast bar, and an enormous 2458-square-foot finished basement that's ready to become your workshop, gym, studio, home school, or the hobby space you've never had room for. And then there's the outdoor living. Open the French doors to a screened-in porch for bug-free evenings, step onto the covered deck (metal roof so you can listen to summer rain), or head down to the expansive lower patio framed by the backyard's hardwoods. It's peaceful, practical, and incredibly hard to leave. Rent: $2,500/month Deposit: $5,000 Why You'll Love Living Here: Real privacy without sacrificing convenience. The home sits well off the road, wrapped in trees for a sense of calm you can feel the moment you arrive. There's ample driveway parking for guests and plenty of space for everyday vehicles, plus a garage bay on the lower level for secure storage or a project car. A great room that actually feels great. Soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a dramatic stone fireplace set the tone. The space opens directly to the screened porch and covered deck, creating a seamless indoor outdoor flow for morning coffee, game day, or a movie night with the doors open to a breeze. A kitchen you'll want to cook in. Granite counters stretch along abundant custom cabinetry, anchored by a stone-front breakfast bar that gives the whole space a warm, upscale lodge feel. You'll appreciate under-cabinet lighting, a gas range with a convenient pot filler, stainless appliances, and a full size dishwasher a rare luxury that makes entertaining effortless. The bay-window breakfast nook pulls in light from three sides and is perfect for casual meals, homework sessions, or a laptop and latte. A primary suite designed to exhale. Tucked on the main level, the primary bedroom features a tray ceiling, a bright bay sitting area, and two walk-in closets. The en-suite bath includes double vanities with generous counter space, a soaking tub for the end of a long day, and a separate shower. Best of all, you can step directly out to the back deck for fresh air in the morning or quiet at night. Flexible bedroom layout. Two additional main-level bedrooms share a full hall bath and offer large closets ideal for family, guests, or a dedicated office. Upstairs, an oversized fourth bedroom/bonus room with dual closets becomes whatever you need next: a playroom, studio, Peloton space, or the quiet work-from-home zone that finally gets you out of the dining room. A basement that blows up the possibilities. Downstairs, discover an enormous daylight/heated basement with high ceilings, multiple storage rooms, a walk-in closet, French doors to the covered patio, and an interior garage bay. It's the ultimate maker's space or gear room: wood shop, band practice, home gym, art studio, film set, or an epic game room the kind where you can set up a full ping-pong table and still have room to spare. Planning a big holiday dinner? Stage serving tables downstairs and shuttle trays up the French doors. Want a quiet place to record? The concrete foundation walls give you a fantastic acoustic starting point. Outdoor living for all seasons. This backyard is built for use: Screened porch with ceiling fan for breezy, bug-free evenings. Covered upper deck with a metal roof grill in a summer shower, sip cocoa in the winter, and watch the leaves change in fall. Expansive lower patio tucked under the deck for shaded play space and weekend lounging. Gentle wooded acreage and a meandering creek kids explore, dogs sniff, and adults unwind.

Make a real breakfast in a real kitchen, not a cramped alcove pancakes on the griddle, coffee brewing while the sun streams through the bay windows. Toss the dishes into two dishwashers (you'll wonder how you ever lived without them), then open the French doors and step out to the screened porch. Work from home in the quiet upstairs bonus room, break for a walk down to the creek, and take calls on the covered deck where the trees become your Zoom background. When friends come over, the house just works. People gather around the stone breakfast bar while you finish dinner; the great room's fireplace gives the space a focal point without crowding it. Kids drift between the porch and the lower patio; adults linger on the deck and never worry about a sprinkle. Game night in the basement, late-night movies in the great room, and morning coffee in the nook it all flows. Weekends bring projects and play. Set up a bench in the basement and finish the shelves you promised yourself. Roll out yoga mats in the heated space and finally stick to that home-gym routine. There's storage for camping gear, fishing rods, holiday decor, and the big-box haul everything gets its place. On Sunday, wander the property's trails, follow the creek a bit, then come back to soak in the primary bath's deep tub. It feels like a cabin getaway but it's home.
