Wonderful Rural Retreat Backs Up To The Octoraro Reservoir!!! This 5 Bedroom 3 Full Bath One-Story Home is in a class of its own. Upon entering, you will find yourself inspired by the vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, open floor plan and all the natural light. The Living Room has a natural greenery view through the large sliding doors to the rear deck which includes a view of the lake depending on the season and an occasional view of the local fauna. We believe you will love the large custom rustic kitchen featuring an Island, granite countertops, copper checkerboard back splash, a custom brick oven alcove and custom hardwood floors. There is plenty of space in the dining area to enjoy the company of extended family and friends over a holiday dinner. If the dining area still isn’t big enough, there is plenty of space in the four-season room just a mere couple steps away to help with the overflow of guests. The primary bedroom seems to be a space delivered directly from heaven; the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams continue here and are accompanied by a private fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone hearth, a very large ensuite with a soaking tub and oversized walk-in shower, a walk-in closet and a private laundry. The fun of exploring this home continues as we venture to the lower level. Here you will find; a rec room complete with a bar and an area for a pool table, 3 more bedrooms (1 currently be used as a playroom), a full bath, another laundry and plenty of areas for storage. Wait, we aren’t done…. The exterior of this home is loaded as well. We have a multi-level patio featuring an outdoor kitchen and its very own view of the lake; a custom inground concrete saltwater pool with sundeck, water slide and waterfall; plenty of concrete patio area around the pool and beyond. One last thing to mention!! We have a fairly new approx. 2,700 square foot detached building with roughed in plumbing that has enough space for 5+ vehicles, toys and even an area where you could have an in-home business or go the direction the current owners were planning with a custom home theater room. So much fun and memories await you in becoming the new owners of this special home!!!
