In all my years of specializing in historic, artistic & unique properties, this may well be the most impressive property yet. It was the personal estate of Brent Kickbush, well known for his amazing artistry with brick, stone and reclaimed wood. You may not be able to buy a 'Green & Green' or 'Frank Lloyd Wright', but you can acquire this masterpiece of architectural artistry. This 5.03 acre property includes a magazine-quality, custom, 4100 sq. ft. brick home, with 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, stone courtyard [with stone fireplace/grill, fire pit, stone walls, black granite harvest table, & lamp post lighting], as well as a detached compound that includes workshops (woodworking & automotive) with a half-bath, 1-2 garages, a 2nd level, 900 sq. ft. apartment with balcony and full bath, an office/art studio, basketball/recreation court, stables, old barn (with chicken housing), gorgeous landscaping with raised brick garden beds and brick paths, antique oak beam trusses, stone paths, water fountain and a beautiful stone and wood well/pump house. There is almost too much to say about the unique features of the house, so to some degree it's best to let the photos tell the story. Inside the main house, there's an open floor plan, excellent natural light, and an abundance of craftsmanship. The great room is breathtaking and features a showpiece stone FP, slate floors with dovetailed wood in-lay, wood ceilings, an artful, dovetailed staircase leading to a large 2nd story loft, while landing of stairs has a beautiful array of woods that create a sunburst pattern. This great room is worthy of showcasing in Architectural Digest! There are some amazing 2-tone wood cabinets, and carved wood vent covers. There is a 2nd custom brick, wood burning FP in the living room with arched brick built-ins on either side and vaulted wood ceilings. From this room, the entire front of the house is open, with kitchen, dining & family room open to each other. The stylish kitchen has a custom brick wall, w hand hewn beam inset, enveloping a stainless gas stove. Cabinets, trim & moldings are butternut, large island w Carrera counter, tile floors w/ walnut in-lay, wood ceilings & wood cutting boards built into the counters. The master suite has its own brick wood burning FP, with stone hearth, vaulted reclaimed wood ceilings w skylight, patterned wood floors, + large and stylish master bath. Truly unique, this is a zen-like sanctuary!
