ONE-OF-A-KIND. ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY. This is the kind of property that rarely comes to market. Nestled on a beautifully wooded, professionally landscaped one-acre lot, this truly special home offers over 3,800 square feet and a floor plan unlike anything else you’ll find. Completely renovated in 2022 with no detail overlooked—roof, windows, flooring, appliances, finishes and more. The quality is exceptional, yet the home remains warm, comfortable and incredibly livable. The stunning kitchen features exotic quartzite countertops, custom finishes, an ice maker, beverage refrigerator, and premium Miele and Wolf appliances. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with its own private deck. Outside, the living space continues with a spacious deck leading to an incredible gazebo with fireplace, plus a backyard fire pit and water feature—all surrounded by mature trees and professionally designed landscaping. This is far more than a beautifully renovated home—it’s a property with personality, privacy and an unmatched setting. If you’re looking for something truly special, look no further.
