Almost completely surrounded by picturesque Rapier Mill creek on over 11 wooded acres, this stunning 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom executive home offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and privacy. A long, winding driveway under a canopy of hardwoods and pines leads you to this private oasis. The property features a 24' x 26' double detached garage, two additional outbuildings, and ample parking for multiple vehicles. The landscaped yard includes established garden beds and a patio with a pergola and a deck overlooking the creek. Step up onto the full-length front porch and through the stunning beveled-glass front door and into the grand foyer. To your right, the formal dining room is bright and inviting, with large windows that frame beautiful views of the surrounding woods. The gourmet kitchen offers abundant cabinet and granite counter space, an island with a vegetable sink, stainless steel appliances, and a tile backsplash. The adjoining breakfast area, with a charming bay window, opens to a small porch with stairs leading to the backyard. Just off the kitchen, a large laundry room has several built-in cabinets, a utility sink, and access to a third porch. The light-filled sunroom offers peaceful views in every direction and opens via double glass doors into the elegant living room, with vaulted ceiling and a gas-log fireplace flanked by built-in shelving. The luxurious main-level Master Suite includes its own access to the sunroom, a spacious layout, and a spa-like en suite bathroom. Upstairs, two large guest bedrooms and a full bathroom are connected by a walkway overlooking the living room below. Downstairs, the lower level expands the living space with a recreation room with a wood-burning stove and doors to a covered porch. Two bonus rooms, a full bathroom, and a mechanical room complete this level. Every inch of this exceptional home reflects thoughtful design, fine craftsmanship, and an effortless connection to nature—offering a truly one-of-a-kind haven.
