Peaceful, relaxing, inviting are just a few of the words that describe the backdrop for this lovely home built on five plus beautiful acres in southwest Wisconsin between Dodgeville and Spring Green. Just behind Governor Dodge State Park and close to American Players Theater and The Springs Golf course--this house is just a hop, skip and jump away from all the fun places to play and only 10 minutes to both Dodgeville and Spring Green for working or shopping or whatever else you might like to do and about 30 minutes to the westside of Madison (depending how you drive). Now that we have the location, location, location part out of the way, let's talk about the house....and boy is there a lot to talk about..Well outside, there are a lot of perennials. You know, those nice plants that come up on their own that you don't have to plant every year. I like those. Especially the ones that have pretty flowers and nice greenery. There is also a lot of room so that if you wanted to have a horse or two you could or some people like to grow their own fruit and vegetables so as to not have to worry about gmos or pesticides, etc. or just because they like to. There are some apple trees already growing here. There is also a really nice and large deck. It is 18 x 30 and faces east with a fabulous view of Blue Mounds. The current owner said one of her favorite things about this home is having coffee in the morning and the view of the Mounds especially in the early spring when it is still kind of chilly outside but the sun makes it warm enough to sit outside on the deck. It is a terrific deck for entertaining in the evening too and stargazing and can accommodate a surprisingly large number of people!The house is an unassuming ranch style with a covered front porch and an oversized two car garage that also has a workbench and additional storage space. The front of the home is adorned with quartzite stone from Baraboo. Inside, the home has had such attention to detail as you will note as you peruse the pictures above, but really the best way to see this home is to scroll down and view the full motion virtual tour link that will be available below or WAY BETTER YET COME SEE IT IN PERSON!!You enter into the formal living room. There is a large coat closet on your right and straight ahead is the kitchen and a powder room and to the right a hall for the bedroom wing and a full bath. On the main floor there are two bedrooms with very large closets, a full bath, laundry, master bedroom with walk-in closet and built-in desk area. The entire home has been recently updated with fresh paint and an attractive color palette.There is a sunken two-story great room that has the feel of a "Colorado ski-lodge". There is almost no other way to describe it. It has soaring vaulted ceilings accentuated with wooden beams and a wood burning fireplace made from the same Baraboo quartzite stone that regales the front of the home. It has lovely purple tones. It is absolutely stunning during the holidays with the decorations that I have seen there. There is a built-in wood box that you can stock from the outside so that you do not have to carry wood in throughout the house which is very convenient. They really have thought of everything. There is another small deck from a french door from this room too. The lower level has been completely and professionally finished to include a family/media space, an exercise space, freezer/refrigerator space, a legal fourth bedroom, full bath, and two storage rooms. The lower levels also walks out to the backyard.So while the home is very unassuming from the front, it has a very different and more open look from the back. From the six-panel solid core doors to the tile floors to the updated kitchen to the "Colorado ski-lodge" sunken great room to the finished lower level to the great country views to the fabulous "entertaining" deck, this is a home that you have to come and see to get the feel for how you might ma
