Don't miss the unique opportunity to own this hidden gem- a beautiful, custom built, five bedroom, five and one-half bath, one-owner home situated on a private, 7.7 acre lot only minutes from the interstate. In 2010, the sellers enlisted a renowned architect to create a thoughtfully-designed, warm and inviting family retreat capitalizing on the natural beauty of this large property. The result is a private sanctuary nestled amongst Carolina sapphire cypress trees, tulip poplars, Japanese maples, junipers, crepe myrtles and more. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are unmistakable- from the antique cypress beams and posts, heated floors in Italian travertine, custom antique cypress doors, and double sided fireplace to the soaring vaulted ceiling of the antique cypress paneled great room- both the materials and design are simply extraordinary. Visitors are welcomed by an A. Hays Town style courtyard, with an authentic sugar kettle from the mid-1800s as a focal point. A wide front porch and wall of windows across the front of the home give a hint to the casual elegance within. The thoughtful layout affords both space and privacy. The primary bedroom and one additional bedroom are located on one side of the home, while three additional bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms are located on the far side. The living space is unbeatable - formal dining, formal living, sitting room, sunroom, sitting area in kitchen, and an expansive great room with vaulted ceiling. The cook's kitchen offers double ovens, gas cooktop, ice maker and paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. A large island with barstool seating, slab granite, and custom cabinetry with under cabinet lighting round out this comfortable kitchen. A practical as well as beautiful butler's pantry provides additional storage, and the expansive walk-in pantry with pull out drawers offers space for small electrics in addition to dry goods and extra household items. All of the bedrooms feature warm, inviting heart pine flooring. The primary bedroom overlooking the wooded backyard features a brick accent wall. The coffee and beverage bar just inside the primary bathroom will be a guilty pleasure you didn't even know you needed. The spacious primary bath offers heated floors, a soaking tub and a shower with bench, as well as separate vanity areas, including a seated makeup area. Two large walk-in closets with built-ins provide plenty of shelf and hanging space, as well as a built-in ironing board. On the other side of the home, three additional bedrooms all have ensuite bathrooms and generous closets. A home office off the kitchen has a built-in desk and space for an extra full size refrigerator or freezer; the adjoining laundry room with sink provides plenty of storage and a built-in ironing area over the washer and dryer. Off the three car garage, a staircase leads to more than 850 square feet of additional storage. Add a minisplit to this already finished space and you have a bunk room or extra climate controlled storage. In the private backyard, a picturesque barn offers storage for outdoor lawn equipment and could even house horses. This very special property represents the best of both worlds - all the privacy, space and serenity afforded by acreage in a beautiful natural setting, combined with close proximity to everyday conveniences such as shopping and dining.
