Live the life of your dreams in this stunning, one-of-a-kind home that is hitting the market for the first time since it was custom designed by the original owner. Tucked along a quiet country road just minutes from local amenities, this outstanding property blends modern convenience with peaceful retreat living. Step through the grandiose foyer to the primary suite complete with a generous walk-in closet and a Kohler bathroom. Soak in the jacuzzi tub overlooking the backyard oasis, rinse off in the luxurious walk-in shower, and admire the hand-hammered copper sink. Back through the foyer, the kitchen welcomes you with granite countertops, tile flooring, custom cherry wood cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry behind a frosted glass door. The eat-in dining area, wet bar, and a charming half bath round out the space. French doors open to the back patio, oversized windows fitted with automatic blinds pull in natural light, and extra-high ceilings highlight finishes at every turn. Gather in the roomy living room, where windows climb the full height of the walls with custom floor to ceiling automatic drapes. A perfectly placed laundry room leads into the garage which deserves a listing of its own. The heated, three-car garage comes fully equipped for the garage lover: two workshop areas, ample storage, an extra garage door to the backyard, and an underground air compressor hookup with a retractable hose reel in the garage and shed. Water throughout the home, including the outdoor hose, runs through a tankless water heater and dual filtration system. Two staircases, including a spiral stair, lead to the second level: two bedrooms, a full bath, and open loft-style landings. At the far end sits the great room: a nearly finished 40' x 25' great room already plumbed for a future half bath. Vaulted ceilings, generous storage closets, blown-in insulation, and luxury vinyl flooring set the stage - all that's left is deciding how you will use it! Last but certainly not least is the backyard retreat. Slip into the heated, in-ground saltwater pool and hot tub, which spills over into the pool below. Stamped concrete wraps the entire pool area, complete with a built-in wet bar made for grilling out and serving cocktails poolside. The versatile 20' x 20' outbuilding is useful for even more storage, additional parking, landscaping/gardening equipment, a pool house, or even a "she shed". Set on half an acre and framed by farmland, manicured landscaping, and major curb appeal, this is a rare opportunity that you do not want to miss!
