Nestled down a winding driveway within a vibrant, wooded enclave stands this distinctive, custom-built, 3 bed/2.5 bath home that is ready to be restored to its former glory. With 2,200 square feet of living space and a uniquely modern floorplan, you have only to step through the front door to see for yourself the endless potential that can be achieved to create your dream home. Purposefully constructed in 1970 to highlight the home’s tranquil, 5-acre setting, the builder used unique design elements to connect architecture with nature. From the front-entry, you are welcomed into the L-shaped living room that allows for separate sitting and conversation areas. In this space, features such as hardwood flooring, exposed wood beams, clerestory windows, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with an off-center hearth utilize outdoor elements to smartly adorn the interior. To the left of the living room is the two-story solarium with floor to ceiling windows which flood this space with abundant natural light and offer pleasing views of the outdoors. Just consider the possibilities for converting this indoor greenhouse into a stunning library, den, or home office! To the right of the living room is the updated kitchen and adjoining dining room. The expanded kitchen workspace features pecan-colored cabinets, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and ceramic-tile flooring. The garage is readily accessible from the kitchen - making unloading groceries a breeze. A first-floor powder room and utility room complete the main floor, while a newly constructed staircase leads up to the 2nd floor. On the 2nd floor is the master bedroom that overlooks the solarium. The master bedroom offers newer laminate wood flooring and a recently updated full bath with new flooring, vanity, toilet and shower enclosure. The two additional bedrooms are generously sized and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. There is also a 2nd floor laundry closet for your added convenience. Meanwhile, outside, a glass door from the living room beckons you into the backyard where you can truly appreciate the home’s spectacular setting. A path of brick pavers leads from the spacious wooden deck to an enchanting garden escape. The verdant lawn is surrounded by natural wooded beauty combined with mature landscaping to create a serene woodland vibe, while a variegated blend of annuals and perennials promise year-around color and gentility. From the lawn area, the sun-dappled path set beneath a canopy of trees leads you past the koi pond (now empty) to the gated, outdoor entertainment oasis. Situated in a private nook wreathed by lush, green landscaping sits the in-ground pool and adjacent pool-house. The charming gazebo-style pool house includes a cozy lounge area with a wet-bar and a convenient half-bath and is wired and plumbed for optimal use. The gazebo’s rustic construction, featuring wood paneling and exposed beams, sets the tone for laid-back, effortless entertaining as the screen walls leave the space open to capture the gentle summer breezes and fragrant garden scents. With some sprucing, this structure can once again become an idyllic retreat for shady repose after a few laps in the pool. While it is true that this gem needs polishing inside and out, in recent years many of the major items have already been replaced including HVAC (2020), furnace (2020), hot water heater (2020), master bath (2020), and staircase (2023). The pool was professionally opened/closed in 2022. With so much to offer, this home is an absolute must-see! Call today to schedule your personal tour. Home Being Sold in AS IS condition.
