Description of Property

Experience the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and country elegance with this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3-bath estate set on 10.68 acres of fully fenced, park-like land. Majestic oak trees provide natural beauty and seclusion, creating a peaceful setting ideal for equestrian use and farm animals while offering the serenity of true country living.

Inside, soaring ceilings elevate the great room, filling the home with natural light and giving the interior a spacious, resort-like atmosphere perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Additional improvements include a fully insulated garage and workshop combination, a matching storage container, and significant grounds rejuvenation highlighted by a classic four-board fence along the driveway and roadside. Outdoor living has been enhanced with a screen enclosure and covered patio surrounding the in-ground pool, which has also been converted to a saltwater system for easier maintenance and a more enjoyable swimming experience. The beautifully updated kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and an impressive suite of high-end appliances from brands including Fulgor Milano, Viking, Bosch, Samsung, LG, and Z-Line. Bathrooms throughout the home have been updated with new vanities and bathtubs, providing modern comfort and style.

Every upgrade and improvement was completed with the intention of making this property the owners’ forever home.
