About This Home

As of May 2025

Sellers anxious and says "bring offers!" If you're looking for privacy on over an acre of wooded land, along with an open floor plan, a five-car garage, and no homeowner’s association, then look no further!
This fabulous home features an impressive two-story foyer that opens to an elegant formal dining room with beautiful hardwood floors, custom colors, and chair rail moldings. The dining room leads to a spacious eat-in kitchen with hardwood floors, ample cabinets and counter space, a center island, and a pantry. Open the kitchen’s sliding doors to step onto the large screened porch with skylights, which leads to a deck perfect for grilling and entertaining friends.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a stunning family room, styled like a Pottery Barn showcase, featuring a stone fireplace and a lovely view of the backyard. Off the family room is an exquisite living room with a soaring 16-foot ceiling and a beautiful stone fireplace. Additionally, the main floor offers a spacious bonus room with a full bath, perfect for use as an in-law suite, extra bedroom, or office.
Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a gorgeous primary suite equipped with all the luxuries— a large whirlpool tub, a stall shower, custom double vanities, two walk-in closets, a dressing/makeup room, and a separate laundry room.
Three of the five attached garages boast high ceilings and can accommodate car lifts, making this home ideal for car enthusiasts. There are also two included air compressors and ample electrical power to support various shop tools. The enormous basement offers endless possibilities for recreation, a workshop, or additional storage, with a dedicated room with shelving for maximum organization.
This property is perfect for a car collector, hobbyist, or anyone seeking privacy in a stunning wooded setting.
