** Showings start on Friday, September 11th at 3pm. Set behind the gates of Country Life Acres, this exceptional country estate offers a rare sense of privacy and serenity in one of the area’s most sought-after communities. Approached by charming curb appeal and surrounded by two beautifully landscaped, level acres, the setting feels gracious and established, with the warmth of a close-knit neighborhood just beyond the gates. Inside, a beautifully considered floor plan unfolds with many updates completed during their ownership. Hardwood floors bring continuity throughout the home, while the redesigned kitchen pairs custom cabinetry and granite countertops with generous space for gathering. The expansive family room makes a striking architectural statement with a vaulted ceiling revealing handsome wood beams and exposed brick, complemented by built-in shelving and a gas fireplace. Designed with both entertaining and quiet retreat in mind, the den offers another fireplace, a whisky bar and French doors opening to a private deck beneath a pergola. It is an intimate extension of the living space and a beautiful place to enjoy the surrounding grounds. The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, featuring a bay window, an impressive walk-in closet and primary bath. Dual shower heads and a dramatic copper soaking tub create a spa-like experience with an unexpected sense of luxury. Upstairs attic was reimagined as a private teen suite with its own full bath adding flexibility for family and guests, while the finished lower level provides additional room for recreation and entertaining. Thoughtfully updated yet rich in character, this is a home where country estate living meets relaxed, modern luxury, all within the coveted gates of Country Life Acres.
