Nestled on 5.18 private acres and surrounded by mature trees, this custom-built 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath ranch home offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty. From the moment you enter the welcoming foyer with ceramic tile flooring and skylights, you'll appreciate the thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship throughout.
The open floor plan is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A formal dining room features a beautiful chandelier and a striking three-sided stone gas fireplace that creates an elegant focal point while connecting seamlessly to the spacious great room. Walls of windows fill the home with natural light and provide tranquil views of the wooded backdrop, creating an incredibly private setting.
The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with direct access to the back deck, while the inviting three-season room offers the perfect place to enjoy the scenery year-round. Convenience abounds with a main-floor laundry room complete with a mop sink.
The finished walkout lower level expands the living space dramatically with a large family room centered around a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar with cabinetry, and ample entertainment space. A den, full bath, and flexible living area make this level ideal for multi-generational living, guest quarters, or a private retreat. A workshop with a mop sink provides additional functionality for hobbies and projects.
Outdoor living is equally impressive with a huge covered patio, spacious deck, and a captivating illuminated waterfall cascading down the hillside, creating a peaceful setting where you can relax to the sights and sounds of flowing water. Completing the property is an oversized 2-car garage and a setting that perfectly captures the essence of luxury country living while remaining conveniently accessible.
