Love the character of older homes + all the conveniences of new construction - this outstanding, magazine worthy home offers both, it is better than new construction as it is loaded with modern amenities & charm. A complete 14 month, top-of-the-line gut/renovation was completed in November 2019 by Architect: Michael Smith & Builder: Comstock. You must see this home to believe the quality of the construction and thoughtful design. The homeowners spared no expense - that means decorator design features and high-end finishes galore. Another rare feature is the one acre lot size and view of Apawamis Golf Course. Set on an acre, with 5 bedrooms, 4.1 baths, 2 offices (plenty of space for virtual school), basement & additional living space on the large covered patio off the kitchen & dining room. The patio has a built-in Wolf gas grill, outdoor TV & wood-burning fireplace great for hanging out and watching all your sports. There is a second-smaller covered patio off the great room as well as an outdoor dining area with views of the golf course. There is great flow between the interior and exterior spaces. Interesting architectural details abound in this one-of-a-kind home & the foyer provides an early taste, when you enter you are greeted by a hand-carved alabaster crystal light fixture custom made by Canadian artist Randy Zieber.
