Have you been searching for that perfect horse property with a terrific barn, a lovely house in a very private location yet still accessible to everything? Well, look no farther! This 3BR, 2.5BA home is in an idyllic setting for the outdoor enthusiast and a horse-crazy individual.
The first floor of this custom home is open concept and features big beams and gleaming hardwood floors. In the center is a brick chimney with a pellet stove to take the chill off and to help keep heating bills in check. The living room is a large 20’ x 18’ yet has a warm feeling with exposed beams, pine ceiling, hardwood floors, and a big bay window to admire the myriad of wildlife.
The kitchen is perfect for the chef of the family with plenty of workspace. It has a large ceramic tile island/breakfast bar holds the Jenn-air cooktop. The breakfast table sits along side a sunny window that looks out into the woods. Tucked into one corner of the house, yet right next to the kitchen, is the formal dining room with French doors, chair rail, parquet flooring and a large bay window. Currently, the owners are using this space as a home office.
Upstairs are three bedrooms—all with large closets and ceiling fans. Peek at the mountaintops in the distance over the tree line from here. The master bedroom, complete with a cathedral ceiling, has a fresh coat of paint and a new carpet very tastefully done in neutral colors. Enjoy the privacy of a big master bath with a claw foot soaking tub to relax in and a shower stall for daily use. The walk-in closet is envious in size!
The two additional bedrooms, each with a vaulted ceiling, share a full bath with ceramic tile flooring. The washer and dryer are here, as well - no lugging clothes up and downstairs. That is very convenient.
If you enjoy entertaining in a casual atmosphere, this is also the perfect place. The entire living area, including the kitchen, easily extends out to the large deck and screened-in breezeway. Beyond the breezeway is the attached garage with fully finished space above, perfect for your home office or studio. Let's not forget the big, tiled mudroom, a necessity in every horse-owner's home.
So much to say and still more—the basement is partially finished. With a bit more drywall, some paint and carpet you'll have it completed for additional space. It would make a great playroom or a workout area. It is a walkout basement accessed by double doors,making it convenient to get things in and out.
