A true sanctuary—this exceptional custom home by renowned builder John Witt in 2016 is set on 2.92 beautifully landscaped, park-like acres just down the road from Saratoga Lake Golf Club. Tucked at the end of a ~250 ft. gated driveway (custom pavers and gravel) off a quiet country road and backing to preserved woods, the setting delivers privacy and seclusion while remaining just minutes from everything the area has to offer. Pride of ownership is evident throughout; original owner and meticulously maintained. While unassuming at first glance, the home is expansive. Tons of natural light throughout the open layout. The kitchen features two-tone cabinetry, granite countertops, an electric stove with gas hook-up option, and a walk-in pantry with custom shelving and cabinetry. It flows seamlessly into the family room and its coffered ceiling, blackbear granite gas fireplace, and custom built-ins, while the sunroom/breakfast area surrounded by windows leads to a paver patio outside. The first floor also includes an office with french doors, mudroom with custom shoe shelves, laundry room, powder room, and a formal dining room with custom shelves and wall bump-out. A spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet and walk-in shower is tucked away on the first floor. Upstairs, a loft/sitting area anchors four generously sized bedrooms, all with walk-in closets, and two full bathrooms. If desired, the layout was intentionally designed to allow easy conversion of one wing into a second primary suite by simply enclosing the hallway with a door. The finished lower level further extends the living space, offering a full bathroom, second laundry, large open recreation area, separate storage and furnace rooms, and a room with an egress window that could be used as a bedroom, office, or exercise room. Excellent potential for in-laws. The grounds feature a perennial garden, apple trees, norfolk pines, forsythias, and flowering shrubs just to name a few, with significant investment in pines for year-round privacy. Large windows throughout the home capture sweeping views of the property with almost no neighbors in sight. A rare highlight outside is blackbear granite covering the home’s concrete foundation, also carried through to the front porch, detached garage, stone pillars, and interior fireplace. The two-car attached garage is complemented by an oversized, detached two-car garage with electric, sheetrocked and painted interior, and unfinished space above ready for future possibilities. A cupola with a lit, timer-controlled eagle finial adds a distinctive touch. This property delivers the best of both worlds: a Saratoga Springs mailing address with lower Stillwater taxes. Whether it’s a quick walk to the golf course or trip to Saratoga Lake down the road, or an easy drive into downtown Saratoga, Saratoga Race Course, or the Saratoga National Historical Park, everything feels close—yet your day always ends in a quiet, country setting. Just 10 minutes to GlobalFoundries and 40 minutes to downtown Albany. A rare opportunity to own an upscale custom-built home in a peaceful and quiet setting, without the wait of new construction. Buyers familiar with John Witt’s work understand the enduring quality and craftsmanship his homes represent. Buyers’ agents welcome.
