This fully custom, updated brick home offers 1-story living on a nearly two-acre lot in the resort-like community of Trout Valley. The huge tree-lined yard with fresh landscaping is perfect for entertaining or relaxing in your jacuzzi watching and listening to the sounds of nature all around. Step inside this open concept ranch to find gorgeous hardwood floors, a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, and rich natural light in every room. Boasting 42" maple cabinets, Quartz Radianz by Samsung countertops, and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen is truly gourmet and is made for enjoyment with family and friends or cooking your own chef inspired meal. The primary bedroom offers two closets and bathroom and was completely redone in 2019 utilizing Kohler fixtures. Off of the hallway from the kitchen, you'll find the formal dining room, which is currently being used as an office. The laundry room has a half bath, and there is a large mudroom leading to a heated 2 1/2 car garage. The main living area was remodeled in 2013 with Acacia Hardwood, Pella Proline series windows, stone fireplace facia, and entrance door. Installed in 2018 were new patio doors and a beautiful Pella picture window. A new furnace was installed in 2019. Other items replaced in recent years include a pressure vessel, water line, and power from well to house. All of this located in idyllic Trout Valley which offers a neighborhood swimming pool, horse trails and barn, tennis courts, fishing, private marina and more. Don't miss your opportunity to live in this amazing home and historic community.
