488 Colvard Farms Road is a very private and large wooded estate lot that combines its transitional architecture with modern comforts. This comfortable haven is part of the gated community of Colvard Farms Estates, offering both privacy and exclusivity. This home boasts nearly 5500 square feet of living space with an additional unfinished 1390 square feet that can yield a 2nd Floor Owners Suite and a large temperature-controlled basement workshop or storage area. The home features 4 spacious bedrooms (including a first floor owners suite), 4 full baths, and 1 half bath. Recent upgrades include restored black walnut hardwoods, a new roof with warranty, two new high-efficiency TRANE heating/cooling units, along with a finished basement.

Additionally, a new full bath and bedroom makes it perfect for an in-law suite or guest accommodations. The home overlooks a beautiful pond providing serene views from all three levels.
