About This Home

As of May 2025

Are you tired of cookie cutter homes? This beautiful custom home sits on an oversized 1.25 acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought after Martin Woods. It's close to schools and shopping, but it seems a world away. The lot in front and back has a variety of mature trees and protection for wildlife. A deer came out to watch me while I was walking the back of the home. The entrance is at the end of a beautifully curved brick path that leads to your front porch. Perfect for rockers and relaxation. Inside you will see the formal living room with a bay window on your right and a dining room on your left with wide French doors. Next you may enter the family room accented by a large stone fireplace surrounded by dramatic curved windows. The door to the patio isn't a slider, it is three very large oak personal style doors for higher security and more light. Step out to a large brick patio with loads of room for entertaining. Your gourmet kitchen has a classic deep sink, granite counters, gleaming stainless appliances surrounded by shiny Medallion-Brand Craftsman style cabinets for understated elegance. You can sip your coffee in the breakfast nook while watching nature through your bay window. You can go upstairs using a beautiful oak staircase to an open hallway with a very dramatic view into the lower foyer. The primary suite features a very large walk-in closet at 8 feet by 22 feet. The primary bath has a very luxurious marble stone walk-in shower, 2 sinks and a full size soaking tub. It sits on a floor of Neapolitan style checkerboard polished marble. The 2nd bath has a high sun roof. The furnace and air conditioner were replaced in May 2024. The water heater in 2021. You'll smile every time you wake up and realize it wasn't a dream. You actually live at 5908 W Ratcliff Ct.
