About This Home

As of February 2022

Beautiful contemporary with loads of space and private areas! This home has been brought back to life in the last 3 years....as you enter the front door, you'll immediately see the huge open great room with vaulted ceiling boasting a 2-sided stone fireplace and sunken family room featuring a back wall of windows to enjoy the outside view and wildlife. To the right, you'll enter the custom Craft Maid eat-in kitchen inspired by the German cabinet maker, Poggenpohl, featuring a view of the double-sided fireplace, granite countertops, eating bar and table space, vaulted wood ceiling and skylights, 40-handle cabinetry and a set of sliding glass doors opening up to the brand new maintenance-free side deck. The formal dining room with corner windows is open to the kitchen. Walk back through the great room to the other side of the home and find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, one being an en suite with a private tiled bath. You'll love the private retreat to the upper level main master suite and the view from the loft with access to a floored attic storage space. The huge master suite boasts a super walk-in his/her closets/dressing area, vaulted wood ceiling with skylight, and access through glass pocket doors to a large tiled master bath featuring 2 pedestal sinks, a private tiled walk-in shower and a heated radiant tiled floor, as well as hardwood flooring. The lower levels include an almost finished recreation room with another stone fireplace, an office area, a tiled half bath, and another 3 large rooms for storage/workshop area. Loads of work done on this home within the last few years, as well as an entire new roof.
