Welcome to a rare Mount Vernon estate where space, privacy and flexibility come together on 3.39 wooded acres. A picturesque drive leads to an impressive home created for both comfortable everyday living and unforgettable gatherings. Inside, the home offers six bedrooms, a possible seventh in the basement, five full baths and one half bath, with multiple living areas that make multi-generational living feel natural rather than crowded. The main level features an inviting kitchen and family room, a dramatic two-story great room filled with natural light, and a private in-law suite with separate access through the garage--ideal for extended family, guests or anyone who values a little extra independence. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide generous private space, while the finished lower level adds even more versatility with a kitchenette, full bath, recreation space and a flex room ready for whatever life requires. Whether you need room for family, working from home, fitness, hobbies or entertaining, this home gives you options. Outside, the setting may be just as special. Enjoy the in-ground pool, expansive outdoor entertaining areas and peaceful wooded surroundings with room to spread out and unwind. Car lovers, hobbyists and anyone needing extra storage will appreciate both the attached two-car garage and detached two-car garage. This is not a cookie-cutter property. It is a home for people who need more--more room, more privacy, more flexibility and more ways to make the space their own--all while remaining convenient to Mount Vernon.
