* * BACK-UP OFFERS BEING ACCEPTED * * They say "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS" and my heart lives here. With complete peace but lots of emotional connections and beautiful memories, this Broker/Owner is moving on to a new, empty-nesting season of life and downsizing. With nearly 4000 square feet of living area, this 4 bedroom/3.5 bath home is the epitome of southern charm and character and features more bells and whistles that can be stated here. Sitting on 10 fenced and cleared acres, with a 1.5 acre stocked pond, a 39000 gallon gunite pool and a 30 x 48 insulated, cooled shop, this ONE is a MUST SEE to appreciate. With beautiful features throughout, large spaces, a gameroom/den open to the kitchen, a living room and a formal dining room, this property is the whole package. The expansive kitchen includes an extra-large island which hosts 5 eat-in seats and a warming drawer while the back side of the triple compartment sink peninsula boasts 6 bar stools for additional eat-in space. Although full now, this kitchen has more cabinetry and storage than most people would fill (Owner has dishes for every occasion and holiday but is not a hoarder ; ). But it doesn't stop there. With 2 pantries and an extra storage room just off of the kitchen area, there is no need to haul rarely used kitchen appliances, holiday dining and decor into the attic. Above the 6 burner gas stove/oven is a pot filler flanked by custom woodwork and a beautifully designed, custom vent hood. This home has always been grand central station with lots of traffic and was designed and created with just that in mind. This is THE place we wanted to be to hang out with friends and family and our kiddos friends and families. It's also been home to wonderful holiday parties, weekend gatherings, bar-b-q's, crawfish boils, swimming and birthday parties simply because there's always something to do. With beautiful, stained woodwork, crown molding on top of crown molding, lots of glass and natural lighting, 10 exterior doors, transom windows, concrete columns and one of our most favorite areas. .. the screened-in porch, well what more could one want or need? A half bath with a floor drain is conveniently located with accesses onto the back porch and pool areas as well as the kitchen. The Master en Suite sits on the north side of the home and is accessed through what is currently used as a workout and prayer room but was once an office while the Master Bath features a raised, claw-foot tub and a centrally placed, extra large, custom-tiled frameless glass shower with multiple showers heads and sprayers. This property features interior, solid wood doors throughout, 5 pocket doors, an 8 camera security system with a monitor at the kitchen desk, landscape lighting and irrigation, a 500 gallon seller owned propane tank, a generator switch in the garage, and a greenhouse, making it nice to save plants from year to year out of frosts and cold spells our region occasionally experiences. The stocked pond is 15' M/L at its maximum depth and is equipped with an automatic fish feeder and an aqua thruster. 2# hybrid bluegill and 6# bass have been regular catches on lucky fishing days.
