Tucked away on 40.52 acres of yard, tillable ground, and mature woods, this 1.5 story custom built, one owner home blends peaceful privacy with thoughtful, high-end updates only a few short miles from town. A wide front porch welcomes you inside to a formal dining room, soaring living room with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, rich hardwood flooring throughout, updated interior lighting, and a handsome staircase finished with wrought-iron spindles. The kitchen is perfect for everyday living or entertaining with granite countertops, an island with seating, updated faucet, and a new pantry while the adjoining sunroom opens to the updated patio and fire pit for easy indoor/outdoor flow. Retreat to the primary suite with a renovated spa-style private bath featuring custom cabinetry, heated tile floors, a spacious walk-in-tiled shower, garden tub, and walk-in closet that measures 12’x6’! Additional improvements since 2012 include: hardwood flooring throughout, both full-bath remodels (flooring/vanities/stools), addition of cedar-lined window seats in the upper level bedrroms, dining room reconfiguration (pillars removed) with new flooring and lighting, baseboards replaced, encapsulated crawlspace, new front door, and professional interior paint. Exterior upgrades impress, too: architectural vinyl shake siding, detached 1-car garage insulated and bricked, guttering with guards that drain to the woods, and replaced front porch pillars for a crisp, classic look. Recent mechanicals and conveniences add peace of mind: 2017~professionally built patio w/firepit; 2018~HVAC; 2020~garage doors & openers; 2023~stainless refrigerator/range/microwave and new window blinds in the living room, dining room, and 4th bedroom/office. Other notable features include a recirculating hot-water heater and 220 electrical outlets in the sunroom and on the patio. Storage is plentiful in the unfinished basement that is just ready for you to make your own. With space to roam, room to gather, and an extensive list of carefully chosen upgrades, this property delivers the privacy of an acreage setting with the polish of a quality built and beautifully updated home.
