During the pandemic quarantine; ; did you realize that your home wasn't quite what you needed? Perhaps, it was more space, or a better utilization or type of space ? Did you lack access to an outdoor area where you didn't have to be masked ? Did you simply want a property more comforting and comfortable ? If so, 716 Clear Spring should be your future home. It's more than a little bit of heaven. Depending upon the season; you can garden, enjoy a spa, a sauna, or a heated large pool. This is a property which is so serene that within minutes of being here; you feel yourself relaxing and smiling. Yes; it is dazzling; it is impressive but it doesn't simply try to impress with sheer size or grandeur, but rather with beauty , attention to architectural detail and to the environment . In 2012 ; the property was enlarged with a main floor addition; including a a new luminous kitchen with walk thru pantry/prep area, a grand great room, new powder room, and luxurious screened gazebo porch. New chestnut wood floors were installed, as well an expanded stairway to the bedroom level. On the bedroom level; bathrooms were renovated. The master bedroom now has 3 walk in closets. On the lower level new flooring and bathroom were installed as well as the enclosure of a breezeway leading from the garage to the house. One result is the most stunning laundry/craft room ever ! And, for those of us, who are missing the movie theater experience; there is a large dedicated media room . . Of course, roof , siding and windows were replaced. But, without a doubt, the most significant decision was to rid the property of traditional , noisy, and expensive HVAC and install a GEO THERMAL system which is 500% more efficient than a traditional system and it is GREEN!!! Go google and read about it; you will be impressed. This system lasts 75 years . As a homeowner; this means you will not be bothered by yearly maintenance of a traditional HVAC system and replacement costs. Prior to the renovation; the home had 3 separate HVAC units. Practically; this translates to quiet; there is no on and off compressor noise. Alas; the outside awaits. The landscaping was re-imagined in order to maximize year round beauty , but, also have low maintenance flowering trees and bushes; lily ponds, waterfalls, and enhanced hardscape. Let's not forget the Secret garden at the rear of property. Do you see Alice or the Mad Hatter? Perhaps Christopher Robbin is waiting for you. And, oh yes; there is the pool area. Imagine being able to dive into your heated pool, relax even more in the spa. And; you have an outdoor kitchen. 2 Sheds convey ( as is); one serves as a storage unit; the other can be used as a playhouse or perhaps convert to additional garage space. For those of you who are tempted to look at the public records; please be advised that as to the house itself; information is inaccurate. All improvements were permitted and all passed final inspection. The finished sq footage of the home is approximated to be 5900 so feet. Please remember to click on separate video icon; it truly provides a better understanding of the property. Price has been reduced to far below its replacement value. ..
