Welcome home to your own peaceful retreat, tucked away on nearly 7 acres in Jefferson. This custom-built 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home offers the kind of space, comfort, and privacy that is getting harder to find, with thoughtful details that make everyday living feel like a dream. From the moment you walk in, the heart of the home draws you in. The kitchen is designed for gathering, with a large island, farmhouse sink, soft-close cabinetry, custom walk in pantry and beautiful finishes that create a warm, welcoming space for family meals or hosting friends. The living area flows naturally and features stunning brick wall accents, loads of natural light, custom shutters and a cozy fireplace, perfect for slower evenings at home. The main level offers 3 bedrooms with 2 full baths and a half bath, a private study or sitting room and a custom mudroom that adds both charm and everyday functionality. While the upstairs provides a private and oversized 4th bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests, a teen suite, or a quiet workspace. The main level primary suite is a true retreat with a spacious closet and spa like bathroom. This home was built with comfort and efficiency in mind, featuring propane for cooking, hot water, and the fireplace, electric heat, and a zoned HVAC system so everyone stays comfortable year-round. An encapsulated crawl space adds to the overall quality and care put into the home. A true conversation piece, this home includes a hidden panic room that blends seamlessly into the design while offering added security! Step outside and take in the beauty of your land, just beyond the back property line there is a creek! With both an attached 2-car garage and a detached 2-car garage, both insulated and powered, you have the flexibility for storage, hobbies, or a workshop setup. One additional unique feature of this property is the location. While currently zoned for Jackson County School District, the property borders Jefferson City School District on 3 sides, giving you the option to pursue annexation into the city if desired. Prefer to keep county taxes? You still have the opportunity to apply for out-of-district attendance, giving you flexibility based on your needs. If you have been looking for a home that offers land, privacy, and a slower pace without giving up convenience, this one is worth a closer look, trust me!
