Description

This beloved custom built, 2 story home on a full finished walkout basement is seeking a new owner! Upon entering, you are welcomed by cathedral/vaulted ceilings that were milled out of a beautiful tree directly from the property itself. The foyer opens up to the formal dining room, custom oak staircase and a warm and welcoming great room with a 3-faced fireplace. The kitchen is a chef's dream with plenty of open space, Hickory cabinets, Corian countertops and a large walk-in pantry! Upstairs is where you will find the main bedroom en-suite with a large walk-in closet and jacuzzi tub, 3 large sized bedrooms, full hallway bath and finished laundry room with custom built pull out laundry hampers. The basement is perfect for additional entertaining! As you descend, you are greeted by a marvelous custom fireplace built from stone that was imported from an island in Greece, a large, beautiful wet bar, the 2nd kitchen, an open space for gathering, a huge office and so much more!
