All windows were replaced in 2005. Boasting 4–5 bedrooms and 3.1 bathrooms, this property also features a charming wraparound porch, an in-ground pool, and scenic open land views....Nestled against a picturesque 21-acre farm, this Wilkinson-built colonial sits on a beautiful, flat 1-acre lot offering both space and privacy. The home has been thoughtfully updated over the years, including a new roof (2012), HVAC system (2018), well pump (2025), updated kitchen, and a newer full bath on the first floor. All windows were replaced in 2005. Boasting 4–5 bedrooms and 3.1 bathrooms, this property also features a charming wraparound porch, an in-ground pool, and scenic open land views. Upon entry, you’re welcomed by a dramatic two-story foyer and stunning random-width hickory hardwood flooring that flows throughout the main level. The spacious living and dining rooms provide ideal areas for entertaining. The inviting family room includes a wood-burning fireplace and sliding glass doors that open to a large deck overlooking the pool—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The updated kitchen is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, granite countertops, a large island, and a generously sized pantry. The adjoining eat-in area features a cozy gas fireplace with a brick surround. A large laundry room with a full bath connects to the oversized three-car garage. A rear staircase leads to an expansive bonus room above the garage—ideal as a fifth bedroom, playroom, or media space. The primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling with fan, a walk-in closet, and a spacious en-suite bath complete with dual marble vanities, a stall shower, jetted tub, and recessed lighting. Three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the second floor. The basement provides abundant storage and offers great potential for future finishing. With minimal updates, this home presents an incredible opportunity to create your dream space in a serene setting.
