Have you ever dreamed of living in a gorgeous home on a secluded, park-like setting tucked into the middle of town? It’s all happening here. This stunning custom-built home, situated on nearly a full acre of lush, landscaped green space, offers all of that and much more. Thoughtful design runs throughout this 5,500+ square foot residence. From the soaring 20-foot ceilings in the great room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, to the solid hickory floors, every detail was meticulously planned to create both open gathering spaces for entertaining and intimate spaces for relaxing, studying, or quiet contemplation. The chef-inspired kitchen features an immense pantry and flows beautifully into the living spaces, while the double-sided fireplace serves both the great room and living room. The main-level primary suite offers a fireplace, spacious bathroom, and large walk-in closet. In addition, the home includes a total of five large bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a full finished walk-out basement complete with a wet bar and additional bonus room. A three-car garage and expansive back deck just off the kitchen complete the functionality of this truly special home.
