About This Home

As of July 2025

Surrounded by mature trees and a deep, level lawn, this expansive home brings together rustic character and spacious modern living in a way that feels both grounded and elevated. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of refinished wood floors underfoot hints at the kind of thoughtful craftsmanship that runs throughout. These floors stretch across both levels of the home, anchoring a layout that is as generous in size as it is intentional in design. At its core is a large, timber-ceilinged kitchen, unapologetically rustic. Exposed beams and timber above complement the room’s relaxed palette, while a casual dining area welcomes everything from quick breakfasts to lingering conversations. Just beyond, the living and dining rooms open into one another with a sense of ease. The family room is a space for all seasons. A wood-burning fireplace brings a comforting focal point in the cooler months, while double atrium doors frame views of the yard and open to a wide deck for summer living. Tucked just beyond is a library, thoughtfully fitted with built-ins and a window seat. The primary suite is a retreat in the truest sense, complete with its own fireplace, generous closets, and a sky-lit bathroom that pairs a whirlpool tub with a separate shower. But it’s the addition behind this suite that sets it apart, offering a vast bonus room, accessed by a set of back stairs, that’s ready to flex as a home studio, wellness space, or media room. The direct connection to the bedroom gives it an intuitive flow that can be closed off or opened, depending on needs. Elsewhere, four additional bedrooms are served by two full bathrooms. Every inch of this home was designed to feel livable, with room to grow and evolve. Outside, the setting is expansive and understated, with a large grassy yard that feels like an open invitation to play, plant, or simply sit and breathe. A new septic system will be installed before closing, and most windows have been replaced with Renewal by Andersen windows.
