The 12+ acres of land is situated at a high point in the region which means a rare combo of elevated mountain views and flat yards! The property has been professionally landscaped and features mature forests, planted gardens and trees, and acres of yards and fields. The house is set back from the road for absolute privacy. As you step through the front door from the covered porch you're greeted with a bright and open dining room and living room space separated by a grand staircase. The living room has ample room for entertaining with a vaulted ceiling and a gas or wood fireplace. The tiled kitchen has high quality appliances, plenty of counter and pantry space, and an impressive breakfast nook. A doorway leads to a laundry room which doubles as a mudroom and access to the deck. There are three bedrooms on the 1st floor, including a master on-suite which offers one floor living options. Up the grand staircase the loft gives off den-like vibes perfect for casual time with the family family or a perfect home office. Adjacent to the loft there is a half bath and a huge unfinished storage room that could be converted into a very large bedroom or office. The impressive semi-covered deck is also accessed from the set of french doors in the living room. When you want shade or shelter you can sit under the extended roof at the bar and watch the deer grazing in the spring rain. When you want to soak in the summer sun there's a hot tub and plenty of open deck. The full basement is divided into a two car garage and a utility/storage space. The poured concrete foundation has been insulated and the whole space is dry and fresh. All its major systems are in excellent condition. The roof has decades to go and the vinyl siding reduces property maintenance costs significantly. This contemporary home was meticulously built and has been maintained to the highest standards. It exudes warmth and elegance. This one won't last long - call to set up your private tour!
