Set back from the road along a well-maintained drive, the home is framed by mature trees that create a sense of privacy and seclusion from the moment you arrive. Inside, the layout is both functional and inviting. A two-story entry welcomes you in, filling the space with natural light and creating an open first impression. From there, the main level flows easily from one space to the next, with a formal living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace that opens to the dining area overlooking the backyard. The updated kitchen features stamped concrete countertops, newer appliances, and connects directly to the family room, making it a natural gathering space. A half bath and laundry area are both conveniently located on the main level, while engineered laminate flooring adds a clean, refreshed feel throughout. Upstairs, all bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned and filled with natural light, with an updated hall bathroom easily serving the secondary spaces. The primary suite offers a unique elevated perspective through a large picture window, creating a tree-top view of the surrounding landscape. The en-suite bath becomes a place to truly unwind, featuring a soaking tub and a layout designed for relaxation, along with a walk-in closet for added convenience. Comfort is enhanced with central heating and air installed in approximately 2022, along with mini splits being added to the upstairs bedrooms. Set on 5.2 acres, the property continues to impress outdoors with a recently rebuilt no-maintenance back deck (approx. 2023), RV parking, and a largely level landscape that offers flexibility and usability rarely found in this setting. Additional updates including a roof installed around 2015, a Generac generator, whole house fan, additional water storage, and an oversized attached garage provide long-term functionality and peace of mind. A setting like this isn’t easy to find, private, peaceful, and designed for the kind of living that feels worlds away while still within reach.
