Description

Living at 4942 Lester River Rd Picture this. Coffee in hand, standing on your own deck, with nothing but wind moving through the trees on your two-and-a-half acres. No neighbor's fence to look at, no rooftop crowding your view. Just lawn, then woods, then sky. Inside, the living room fireplace keeps the house warm, and the kitchen invites you to cook, gather, and linger, with white cabinets catching the light and wood countertops warm under your hands. The dining area sits just off the kitchen, close...Living at 4942 Lester River Rd Picture this. Coffee in hand, standing on your own deck, with nothing but wind moving through the trees on your two-and-a-half acres. No neighbor's fence to look at, no rooftop crowding your view. Just lawn, then woods, then sky. Inside, the living room fireplace keeps the house warm, and the kitchen invites you to cook, gather, and linger, with white cabinets catching the light and wood countertops warm under your hands. The dining area sits just off the kitchen, close enough that conversation carries between rooms while dinner comes together. The house has room for every mood. An office downstairs for real work done behind a closed door, a hobby room for hands-on projects, and a private sauna to unwind, no gym membership or drive across town required. Three bedrooms upstairs mean the house comfortably holds a family, or guests, without anyone feeling in the way. The primary suite has its own three-quarter bath, a full bath serves the main floor, and a third three-quarter bath sits on the lower level, so mornings never turn into a negotiation. But it's the acreage that changes how you live. The gazebo becomes the place everyone ends up, roof overhead, bugs kept out, the whole yard laid open in front of you. Deck chairs, quiet conversation, the kind of view you can't get on a standard city lot. Two and a half acres is enough room for a garden, a firepit, room for kids or dogs to run without a leash, room to simply breathe. Built in 1958 and clearly cared for since, with a private well, private septic, a fireplace for winter, central air for summer, and a detached 30x30 garage for everything else. This property offers a life. $600,000, and worth seeing in person to feel what two and a half private acres really means. Some photos are virtually staged.
