The captivating 161 Valley Road boasts three or four bedrooms, two baths and features just over 3,100 square feet overlooking a 1.41 acre lake. Natural light floods into the main level from the numerous rear windows and doors all overlooking the tranquil grounds. Upon entering the home, you will fall in love with the graciously sized vaulted living room and sliding glass doors which open to the expansive back deck. The well appointed vaulted library with cedar walls and built-in bookcases is a wonderful addition made by the current owners and could be converted to a second master if a buyer so desired. The spacious and open kitchen with authentic Mexican tile, an abundance of storage and dry bar opens into a large keeping room. Also located on the main floor are two secondary bedrooms and a shared full bathroom with a tiled tub/shower combo. It will be difficult to choose your favorite resting spot, as they all capitalize on the idyllic landscape. The centrally located staircase leads to the upper level which features a smaller fourth bedroom, currently used as an office, and a small craft room. The upstairs master suite is bright and open with vaulted ceilings and dramatic views of nature from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. There is a small balcony off the master which would be perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. The en-suite master bathroom features dual-vanities, tub with original tile accents and a steam shower. Notable upgrades include renovated bathrooms, new HVAC, a tankless hot water heater, and a new roof. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind Five Points home offering the ultimate in privacy and seclusion!
