Welcome to this one-of-a-kind custom-built home nestled on nearly 3 private acres in the highly sought-after Mohawk School District. Surrounded by mature trees, a peaceful running stream, and picturesque scenery, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, nature, and convenience. Inside, you'll discover a distinctive blend of mid-century modern design and rustic cabin charm. The dramatic living room showcases soaring 12-foot vaulted wood ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light while framing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The beautifully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a spacious eat-in island, and a charming bay window, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat complete with its own fireplace, first-floor laundry, a generous dressing closet, and a vinyl sliding glass door (2018) leading to a composite two-level deck overlooking the front yard—an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening. One of the home's standout features is the impressive 800-square-foot attached two-story garage addition, completed in 2021. Equipped with radiant floor heat, oversized insulated garage doors, a separate entrance, and a half bath, the upper level is currently used as a home business but offers endless possibilities as additional living space, guest quarters, an in-law suite, recreation room, or home office. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a metal roof (2017), electric panel (2017), propane furnace (2018), central air conditioning (2018), kitchen and bathroom renovations (2015), laminate flooring throughout (2015), septic system (2015), tankless water heater (2021), and a newly added half bath (2024). Outside, you'll appreciate two separate driveway entrances and a custom Amish-built 12' x 30' shed (2020), providing ample storage for tools, equipment, and outdoor gear. Originally hand-built using reclaimed railroad ties, this remarkable home offers craftsmanship, character, and architectural appeal that simply can't be replicated. If you've been searching for a truly unique property with modern updates, flexible living space, and a peaceful natural setting, 511 Covert Road is ready to welcome you home!
