Previous Description:
You won't believe the transformation this home has
undergone. What once was ordinary is now extraordinary, completely reimagined, redesigned, and rebuilt from the ground up. Every inch of this residence has been fully renovated with exceptional craftsmanship, style, and intention. This was no simple remodel. What began as a modest rambler with a basement is now a breathtaking two-story home with an entirely new floor pIan. The upstairs now the downstairs, the front is now the back, and the former kitchen is now a bedroom. The new kitchen occupies the space where the basement used to be, but this Is no basement anymore. This level now opens into a main-level addition featuring soaring 17-foot ceilings and a full wall of windows overlooking 10.43 acres of private, wooded paradise. Both levels offer the comfort of in-floor heat for year-round warmth. A large addition serves as the home's new front, showcasing massive windows, tranquil views, and unmatched privacy. The custom kitchen is the true centerpiece of the main level, featuring high-end cabinetry with pull-outs, and a built-in spice rack, granite countertops, porcelain flooring, high-quality stainless appliances, and a 6-burner gas stove, along with a spacious walk-in pantry. The living room is anchored by a show-stopping curved staircase with an architectural statement that immediately captures your attention. It flows beautifully with the open design and natural light, leading to the upper level where you'll find four bedrooms, an office, two bathrooms, and a large family zoom currently used as a movie room wired for a projector and set up to use the entire wall for a screen for the ultimate movie or sports experience. A 17-foot floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace adds warmth and elegance to the main living space. And tucked somewhere within the home is a hidden safe room, if you can find it. The master suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in shower with dual shower heads, a relaxing jetted soaker tub, dual sinks, and an expansive walk-in closet complete with its own laundry for ultimate convenience. Both garages are impressive in their own way. The attached garage is insulated, finished, and warmed by the home's radiant heat. The detached 32x32 garage offers an 10' 8" ceiling, is insulated and has a gas line for future heat, is wired with a 220 outlet, and has a floor drain ideal for a lift, workshop, or hobby space. Even the exterior spaces were redesigned with intention. The driveway, landscaping, and multiple outdoor patios complement the home's bold new layout. The stamped concrete patio off the main level provides the perfect place to entertain or unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings. Set on 10.43 pristine acres, this home delivers unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and craftsmanship at every turn. It is truly one of a kind, a property that cannot be fully appreciated until you experience it in person. You will never find another one like it!
