This home was originally built in 1999 by a respected local builder, and is privately situated on a 9.5 acre lot off a quiet, rural road. The current owners began extensive renovations in 2022, adding a new screened in porch, stone patios, covered entryways and exterior doors, master bath, kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, foam insulation, gas fireplaces, and mini splits for the second floor. The east entryway has benches and built-ins, leading to an open floor plan kitchen, living room, and dining room. Also on the first floor is a downstairs 3/4 bath, pantry, office space, and den. Up the curved staircase are a library sitting area, three bedrooms, and a lavish master bath with large shower and a soaking tub. The two other bedrooms share a full bathroom. The third floor insulated attic is accessed via a hidden spiral staircase and offers room for additional expansion, if needed. There are cherry floors upstairs, with a combination of cherry and tile floors on the first floor. A large pond has been added, great for swimming and sunset evenings by the fire pit. A 14 kW solar array has been situated away from the house, with two Tesla Powerwall batteries in the basement giving a total of 27kW of battery back up. There is EV charging in the garage, and the barn is wired for a second EV charger, if needed. Lastly, a 48x48' barn with a 10' garage door, insulated shop space, mini splits, 3-phase power, and covered exterior equipment storage was built in 2023.
