Stately traditional in the prestigious Tower Mountain community. This residence offers the discriminating buyer, built in equity with over 4,000 square feet of living space. Constructed with integrity and given facelifts in areas that aged with time this home offers quality often missed in newer construction. The curb appeal is immediate and is accented with a spacious circular drive. Timeless brick steps bring you to the entry foyer, which soars to the upper level. This space is flanked by a formal dining room and opposite side is balanced with a gilded ceiling, flex space which is ideal for a music room or office/study. Rooms are segregated but they flow easily from one to another which creates the ideal pattern of traffic for entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is the true gem of this home. Gorgeous granite counters over banks of cabinets provide multiple spaces for culinary creativity and the Viking gas stove will please even an experienced home chef. The counter bar offers seating for quick morning meals, while eat-in dining space is ideal for family evening meals. Formal dining room is one of the many entertaining options but more than likely guests will gather on the recently added all season room. What an ideal space to relax with a beverage from the well stocked wine refrigerator and have a stimulating conversation. This space is secluded by a natural forested backdrop for privacy. The living room is anchored by a gas stove insert for instant warmth and is accented with built in book/art cabinetry. Owner's Suite accommodates over-sized furniture and provides an area for reading or relaxing. The en suite bath has an upgraded step in glass shower, deep soaking tub and generous walk in closets. Hardwood floors are featured throughout the main floor rooms. Upstairs you will find 3 generous bedrooms with walls of closets and lovely windows for natural light. The original owner's suite with en suite bath is one of these suites. All rooms in the residence are gracious and the storage is an unexpected bonus. The home is nested on 2 acres and offers the privacy of a wooded setting but you are just minutes to town, shopping and easy access to 365/985 for travel to employment. Take advantage of the historic Tower Mountain fire tower, a short hike from the home with walking trails and stunning views of Lake Russell below. A short drive will afford you access to the shoreline of Lake Russell and simple pleasures of hiking, canoe and kayaking or communing with nature.
