This could be your home as a sanctuary from the world. Experience and appreciate the stately beauty of an architectural delight when visiting this former Parade of Home, designed by Design Evolutions & built by Eichelberg Builders. Creative care in the details starts at the front entrance when entering the 2-story foyer with decorative columns separating the formal dining room that is highlighted with its double crown molding, ceiling medallion, and wide baseboard trim. For convenience, the Butler's pantry is adjacent. There is a charming half bath off to the side with access to the back yard where the placement of a pool was once considered. From the foyer, step down to the Great Room with its 25 foot coffered ceiling, towering windows, and stone fireplace. The Kitchen is a culinary delight with all its storage, granite counter space, and center island. Stainless steel appliances, maple cabinetry, luxury vinyl plank flooring, 2 areas of eating bars, and sun-lit breakfast area makes for a comfortable gathering place. Completing this level is the main floor laundry and office. The office could be easily finished as another bedroom with an addition of a closet. The main stairway is accessed from the foyer or the back entry and leads to the upper level where there is the Master suite of a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling, master bath with a 2 person shower, and equally large walk in closet area. There are two other bedrooms with Jack and Jill bath and a fourth bedroom with its own bath. All the bedrooms have a lighted walk-in closet equipped with a shelving/organizer system. In the daylight lower level is the family/recreation area, storage closet, and a work/craft niche inclusive of a built-in desk. The exercise room, a fifth bedroom, a full bath, and an ideal lit storage area with shelving rounds off this great space. The home is equipped with 3 zone heating and ceiling speakers are wired throughout with the control center in the Great Room. The 3 car garage is wired with 220 for an electric car, has special hangers for kayaks or bikes, an extra refrigerator, and shelving/storage. Sellers added extra insulation in the attic; full house generator; and additional landscaping of pine trees, berm, and some fencing for a little more privacy from the street. You will also notice the Gazebo, seasonal perennials throughout the property, as well as accent lighting for the evening. To top it off, Hi Speed Internet is now available.
