About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to this exceptional acreage where luxury, space, and privacy come together. This one-owner home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, and over 4,300 sq ft of living space. Stunning windows fill the home with natural light and the generously sized rooms make every space feel warm, inviting, and functional. The updated kitchen is ideal for everyday living and entertaining, with sleek quartz countertops, plenty of cabinets, and counter space for days. The main floor primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath and walk-in closet. You’ll find four fireplaces throughout, including a beautiful outdoor fireplace on the spacious patio, perfect for cozy evenings and gatherings. The lower level adds even more flexibility with multiple spaces for work, play, and fitness. The heated garage with 1800+ sq ft is a handyman's dream come true! Plenty of space for a woodworker with a dust collection system and exhaust system, and even a garden garage. All of this with convenient access to I-380, schools, dining, shopping, and more, with the benefit of county taxes. Schedule your private showing today!
