If a unique one-of-kind home is what you're looking for, then don't miss out on this 5 bdrm, 4.5 bath mid-century style ranch! As you enter the driveway gates, you can not help but notice the beautiful forest of trees surrounding this 5 acre private lot! As you step thru the front door of this sprawling ranch, you're greeted by a dramatic great room with a soaring two-story stone fireplace and panoramic views of the serene back yard hosting an in-ground pool! In fact, every single room in this home offers amazing views of the property! The professionally updated chef's kitchen provides upscaled appliances, a large walk-in pantry and a custom buffet. Just steps away is the dining room, ready for entertaining with another stone fireplace. Four bedrooms reside on the west end of the home with heated hardwood flooring in the hallways surrounding an atrium, the perfect spot for your plants during the spring/summer months. The primary suite is a dream retreat with a large step down den/sitting room, exquisite hardwood flooring with inlay and 3rd stone fireplace! It is the perfect place to sneak away, relax and read a good book after a long day. It also provides private access to the pool area if you feel like taking a dip at night. The master bath comes with his/her vanities, custom shower, soaking tub and a beautiful beveled glass window letting in tons of natural light! 2 of the other 3 bedrooms on the main level provide their own ensuite. The walk out basement is the perfect place for entertaining with direct access to the pool and a 5th bedroom. On the east end of the home, built over a natural ravine is a 3 season sun room. The ravine covets 180 tons of boulders brought in for landscaping purposes. Without a doubt, this is the place to relax and enjoy nature at it's finest! Tucked away in a corner is access to a secured two story private wine cellar! A dream come true for all wine connoisseurs! The 2-3 car garage provides tons of extra storage space along with an oversized heated work shop! Homes like this do not come on the market often! This is truly a rare find your family can enjoy for a lifetime!
