About This Home

As of August 2025

Tucked away on a quiet street with peaceful views of the Ravisloe Country Club, this one-of-a-kind home combines timeless character with thoughtful updates and incredible functionality. Sitting on nearly half an acre, the beautifully landscaped yard sets the tone the moment you arrive-complete with a charming wraparound front porch that welcomes you in. Inside, the home is filled with natural light thanks to oversized windows throughout. You'll find gorgeous oak doors, rich woodwork, and stained glass details in the library and primary suite that give the home a warm, classic feel. The main level is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a formal living and dining room, a spacious kitchen with a large island and prep sink, and a cozy family room with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter. Upstairs, the second-floor loft library adds a unique touch, along with a convenient laundry room and four generously sized bedrooms. The primary suite is a true retreat with serene views of the yard, dual sinks, a jacuzzi tub for two, and a steam shower. The home is loaded with smart upgrades-owned solar panels brought the total electric bill to about $200 for the full year! There's also a whole-house vacuum system, individual HVAC systems for each floor, and a whole house generator. The all-season sunroom is heated and cooled for year-round use, and the 9-foot ceilings on both floors create an open, airy feel throughout. The attached 4-car garage includes basement access and an EV charging outlet. The 4th car bay is a separate heated garage with a 12-foot door-perfect for an RV, boat, workshop, or extra vehicles. With rough-in plumbing already in place for a future basement bath and thoughtful touches like an intercom/radio system and premium rain gutters with caps, this home is every bit as practical as it is beautiful. This is more than just a house-it's a forever home.
