About This Home
As of October 2024Calling All Nature Enthusiasts!
Welcome to a custom-designed haven nestled on 6.2 acres of pure tranquility at the end of a cul-de-sac, offering an unparalleled park-like setting. The West Branch of Red Clay Creek meanders through the backyard, providing the ultimate privacy and connection to nature that you crave.
As you enter, you're greeted by a grand two-story foyer adorned with 7-inch wide Premium Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, recently installed for a fresh, modern touch. The space is bathed in natural light, courtesy of eyebrow and clerestory windows, and complemented by a stunning custom turned staircase. The formal living room boasts 9-foot ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and the same luxurious vinyl plank floors that flow seamlessly throughout.
The bright and airy kitchen is a true delight, basking in the morning sun. It features charming pickled pine cabinetry, recently installed stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry. The tiled floor adds a touch of elegance, while the breakfast nook with a bay area invites you to start your day in comfort. An exterior door provides easy access to the expansive rear deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The first floor also includes a spacious laundry room with a utility sink, a mudroom area, a utility room, and a convenient powder room.
On the second floor, the primary bedroom suite is a sanctuary of its own. With soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and clerestory windows, this room exudes character and charm. A bay window sitting area, complete with a ceiling fan and cushioned window seat, offers a peaceful spot to relax. The suite also includes two walk-in closets and a private bath with a glass-enclosed shower and double vanity sinks. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath complete this level.
Step outside onto the rear wood deck, featuring built-in benches and two step-down areas that lead into the expansive yard. The oversized two-car garage is a craftsman’s dream, with a built-in workbench, metal storage shelving, and a large attic space above. For added peace of mind, the home is equipped with a hardwired security system.
The breathtaking views of the West Branch of Red Clay Creek, running along the back of the property, make this home a nature lover’s paradise. The property teems with wildlife, including backyard birds, waterfowl like ducks, geese, herons, and egrets, as well as beavers, minks, red foxes, raccoons, opossums, rabbits, deer, and the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead. It’s truly like owning your own protected nature preserve. This unique home and its stunning surroundings are an absolute gem, offering a lifestyle that blends luxury with the serene beauty of nature. This home is eligible for a $10,000 grant call listing agent for details.
