About This Home

Peaceful five-acre retreat just outside Freeport offering more than 6,500 square feet of finished living space, custom finishes, a walkout daylight lower level, and seven heated garage stalls. Quality, space, and amenities like these would be difficult to recreate at today’s construction costs. From the brick-front exterior and landscaped setting to the custom flooring, cabinetry, and built-ins throughout, this impressive home was designed with craftsmanship, comfort, and entertaining in mind. The grand open foyer introduces the home’s dramatic scale and leads to a private office with French doors, built-in cabinetry, and an integrated desk. The formal dining room is conveniently positioned near the kitchen, while the massive great room features a soaring two-story wall of windows, abundant natural light, and custom built-in cabinetry. The spacious kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, a center island, breakfast bar, pantry, and generous workspace. It opens to a bright breakfast room with direct access to the deck overlooking the fenced backyard, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or enjoying the peaceful acreage setting. The main-floor primary suite creates a true private retreat with a sitting area and built-ins, an approximately 10' x 8' walk-in closet, and a spacious private bath featuring a large soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double-sink vanity. The main-floor laundry room provides exceptional cabinetry and storage and is conveniently located near the heated three-car attached garage. Upstairs, Bedrooms 2 and 3 each include walk-in closets and share an oversized approximately 12' x 9' Jack-and-Jill bath. Bedroom 4 offers its own private suite with an approximately 11' x 9' bath, an 11' x 8' walk-in closet, and an adjoining 17' x 14' bonus room with double closets, providing outstanding options for guests, a second office, hobbies, a studio, or additional private family room. The walkout daylight lower level provides nearly 2,000 additional square feet of finished living and entertaining space. This level includes a spacious family room with wet bar, game room, exercise room with French doors and a walk-in closet, guest room, full bath, and abundant unfinished storage. Car collectors, hobbyists, contractors, and buyers needing exceptional workshop or storage space will appreciate the heated three-car attached garage plus the heated four-car detached garage. Together, the seven garage stalls provide remarkable flexibility for vehicles, recreational equipment, collections, tools, or business-related storage. Set on approximately five acres with mature trees, pollinator garden, a fenced backyard, expansive deck, and peaceful views, this distinctive property offers the privacy of country living while remaining conveniently close to Freeport. Features like zoned hi-efficient heating and air, central vac, new roof in 2022 make this an affordable home to maintain. A rare opportunity to own an executive-scale home with a main-floor primary suite, private office, multiple guest and recreation spaces, walkout lower level, custom craftsmanship, and seven heated garage stalls, all surrounded by five peaceful acres.
