A beautiful home close to town in a very private setting. An open floor plan with living room flowing into the dining room. Continue to the beautiful gourmet kitchen with granite counters and a breakfast bar which is open to the great room with a gas fireplace with gorgeous wood mantle, a cozy dining area just off the kitchen and sliders to the patio/pool area. The main level also offers a combination laundry room/mudroom. Upstairs the spacious and serene master bedroom has an updated bathroom with an oversized closet and access to attic storage. Two more bedroom and a full bath are on this level. The lower level is finished and walks out to a patio on the side of the house. The back yard is a dream with the fenced in pool and gorgeous patio with gardens and plenty of room to entertain or just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the property. In addition to the garage there is a Country Carpenter two story Barn which includes a 300 square foot loft that could be a recreation room or an office. Simply an amazing setting!! This wonderful home also offers an Automatic Whole House Generator - a must these days!!
