Entertainer's Dream on 5 Private Acres - Custom Built, One-Owner Home. Welcome to this one-of-a-kind, custom-built retreat designed for comfort, entertaining, and serene living. Privately tucked away on 5 acres, this spacious home offers unmatched tranquility while remaining just 15 minutes from the heart of Covington. As you stroll up the walkway a large rocking chair front porch invites you to relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings and morning sun. Inside, you're greeted by a two-story foyer with real hardwood floors and a formal dining room, flowing seamlessly into the impressive two-story living room filled with natural light and huge windows throughout. The show-stopping floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace features dual chimneys, with provisions already in place to add a second fireplace in the basement. A whole-house sound system adds to the ambiance, perfect for entertaining. The open kitchen is a chef's delight with abundant cabinetry, a pantry, breakfast bar, coffee station, and breakfast area with French doors opening to the back deck. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the wooded, fenced backyard, ideal for pets and outdoor gatherings. The main level also features a spacious primary suite with new high-end carpeting and French doors leading to a luxurious bath complete with his-and-hers vanities, whirlpool tub beneath a picture window, a new subway tile shower, and dual walk-in closets. A guest half-bath in the foyer and a mudroom/laundry area connect to the oversized two-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms plus a huge bonus room-perfect as a fourth bedroom (which is the current situation), media room, or playroom. New carpet throughout, plus a full bath with a double vanity. The full, partially finished basement offers incredible flexibility-with structural steel beams already in place for future open-concept finishing. A fully insulated space with a home office, gym area, and stubbed-in plumbing for a bathroom make this a dream space to customize. The basement has poured concrete walls, waterproofing, and an exterior French drain, ensuring year-round comfort and dryness. Plenty of storage, in the basement you'll also find that the seller has already purchased a good bit of sheetrock to get that basement finished! Peaceful setting far off the road with unmatched privacy. This home blends thoughtful custom details, modern upgrades, and timeless charm-perfect for families, entertainers, or anyone seeking space and serenity. Septic has been pumped and new drain fields installed and home is scheduled for drilling of a brand new well in the next couple weeks. Two year old roof. Easement already in place for driveway although seller currently uses shared drive with adjacent property. Schedule your private showing today-homes like this don't come around often!
