Welcome to our custom home! Every piece of wood was hand stained by the owners throughout the past few years to make this tree house like home a reality. Owners are relocating due to work or else this would have been their forever home. Pulling up to the home, you will notice a large driveway for parking as well as a two car garage. You will also notice the home is in a wooded lot that is just minutes away from downtown media but gives you the feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The roof was just installed in 2019 along with 4 large skylights and a gutter system. The whole back of the home was redone with synthetic siding and the large front door replaced as well. An anderson sliding door was added to the kitchen and the entire kitchen was redone within the past year. New Custom inside and out Kraftmaid cabinets were installed and a rainforest green quartzite wrap around countertop was installed along with a stove top island in the center of the kitchen. All new custom light fixtures were installed throughout the home. Hand stained wood was put on the wrap around bar and throughout the entire home to give it and even more wooded and warm feel. All new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen with a double oven that one of the owners couldn't live without. The cabinets have custom storing for all of your kitchen cooking tools. The wrap around countertop is great for entertaining and the open concept makes it easy to not only entertain but to multitask in the kitchen. New tile was installed in the kitchen and the floors in the living room, dining room, and foyer area were all redone in February of this year. The whole house has been painted with new hand stained wood trim put around the windows and the baseboards. The large living room and dining room gets plenty of light from the skylights and the multiple large sliding anderson doors. There is a large fireplace in the living room which the owners used every day in the winter which was very cozy. On the main level there is a jack and jill bathroom leading in the main bedroom which is nicely sized with a his and her closet. On the main floor there is also another nicely sized bedroom with a decent sized closet and two large windows. Going down to the rec room area there is 1 bedroom and a full bathroom with a stand up shower with dual heads. Part of the rec room can easily be turned back into a 4th bedroom if the buyer desires since there is already 2 windows and a vent, just a non load bearing wall with a light switch and outlet and you are back to 4 bedrooms. The owners were going to turn the garage into a bedroom and create a master suite downstairs with the yellow bedroom being an office but circumstances changed. Downstairs has new tile, wood paneling added and custom light fixtures, one being for a foosball shuffleboard table or pool table if you were so inclined. There is a wood stove downstairs that kept the whole downstairs warm enough for shorts while playing shuffleboard. Going outside you will find nature all around. The home is located on a quiet cul de sac that backs up to the woods which is great for walking your dog or taking the kids to play. Across the street there is a small creek that leads down to the reservoir about 2 blocks away. The back yard area is great for having fires at night when it gets cool. Outback of the house there is also a wood shed used to stood all of our firewood for the winter. This home is one of a kind and we are sad to leave but we know the future buyers will love it! Showings to begin after March 13th at open house 11am-2pm
