Exceptional new construction, this 1.5-story custom home is filled with artistic details and timeless craftsmanship. Set on 1.31 acres with a private feel and a peaceful rural backdrop, it offers space and style like no other. A sprawling covered porch invites you in to real oak hardwood floors and an open living, dining, and kitchen area centered around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The custom kitchen is a showpiece with ambrosia maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and unique touches like upcycled cabinet doors, vintage glass knobs, and stained-glass accents. The den offers a warm retreat with an inset electric fireplace. The half bath makes a bold statement with its hammered copper vessel sink and whimsical bird faucet. Even the staircase is a design feature, complete with a custom handrail and copper-stamped leaf details. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bath, and a family room for flexible living. A stunning walnut-trimmed entry door and an attached two-car carport complete this one-of-a-kind home where every detail has been thoughtfully curated.

R-MU
Rural Mixed-Use District
The Rural Mixed-Use District (R-MU) district is intended to allow residential and non-residential development to occur with fewer restrictions in less urbanized areas of the county. The intended result is less conflict between adjacent property owners while maintaining the rural appearance of the area.
