Experience exceptional craftsmanship and resort-style living in this extensively rebuilt and expanded brick ranch set on more than 2 beautifully landscaped acres along Ellicott Creek—an extraordinarily rare offering in Williamsville. Originally built in 1959 and completely renovated between 1996-1998, this remarkable property blends timeless architecture with modern infrastructure and luxury amenities. The sprawling main level offers over 3,200 sq ft with rich wood flooring, updated LED lighting, three spacious bedrooms each with private full baths, and a luxurious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, built-ins, mirrored wardrobes, and spa-style bath with bidet. The renovated 2016 kitchen includes updated appliances, island seating, and modern finishes. Elegant entertaining spaces include a formal dining room with fireplace, wet bar, custom cabinetry, and a dramatic chandelier, while the sunken family room showcases an impressive 10+ ft chandelier and dual-sided fireplace shared with the TV room. A dedicated office provides ideal work-from-home flexibility. The finished lower level is equally impressive, featuring a temperature-controlled brick wine cellar, guest bedroom with full bath, large exercise room, extensive storage, and both traditional Finnish and infrared cedar saunas. Dual furnaces, central air systems, water heaters, sump systems with battery backups, dehumidifiers, and a whole-house generator provide peace of mind and year-round comfort. Outdoor living is extraordinary with mature landscaping, creek and waterfall views, patios, sheltered outdoor cooking area, and two accessory buildings. One shed offers powered storage/workshop space, while the second is finished with insulation, shower, sink, and hot tub. Additional highlights include heated garage, new roof with transferable lifetime warranty (2018), leaf-guard gutters, reinforced insulation, and updated gas service. With the potential for lot subdivision and the privacy of an estate-sized setting rarely found in Williamsville, this is a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity combining luxury, flexibility, and spectacular natural surroundings. A rare blend of luxury, land, and location
