Gorgeous and spacious custom built home. Better than new, and on over an acre on Historic Shades Crest Road! Full brick, with three garages; two main level, and one in the huge finished basement. Open floor plan with hardwoods galore - Incredible porch overlooking the valley. Huge rooms, awesome kitchen with all that you'd expect, including gas cooktop and stainless appliances. The pantry has a secret door leading to the laundry room - really thoughtful design. Soaring ceilings and open spaces. The back porch extends the length of the house, affording a wonderfully private sanctuary overlooking the valley. The two large bedrooms upstairs have their own baths, and there is walk-out attic space. Downstairs is another bedroom, a full bath and another half bath, an office, and the possibility of an in-law suite, as there is also a washer and dryer hookup down. Two fireplaces: Great Room and Master Bedroom! A stately and beautiful home in move in condition!
