Nestled on five private, heavily wooded acres along a quiet dead-end street, this beautifully updated home offers a rare blend of nature, comfort, and quality craftsmanship—just 20 minutes from the cities. The property also provides abundant wildlife and hunting opportunities. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light and bring the wooded views indoors. Soaring vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace create a warm focal point in the living room, while new hickory hardwood floors add timeless character throughout the main level. The kitchen and bath feature granite countertops, new sinks, and new faucets. The kitchen also includes a new Bosch dishwasher and LG refrigerator. The current owners have invested extensively in comfort and peace of mind. A new front entry. A three-stage carbon water filtration system with a reverse osmosis faucet at the kitchen sink. A water softener and new well pressure tank. Recently serviced furnace and central air system, both in excellent condition. A whole-house air purifier and outside air exchanger. New garage doors and openers, with windows in the doors. A new retractable awning extends the living space outdoors, creating a comfortable setting for relaxing or entertaining on the deck. Automotive enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone needing additional storage will appreciate the newly built, 2-by-6 stick-framed, 25-by-30-foot detached two-car garage. Professionally insulated, drywalled, electrically finished, and prepared for a future heater, it offers excellent versatility for projects, recreational equipment, storage, or potential year-round use. The walkout lower level features a spacious family room accented with warm tongue-and-groove knotty pine, creating a comfortable place to gather and unwind. An insulated and drywalled laundry room with cabinets adds practical storage and workspace.
