Set on over 11.5 private acres, this custom-built Colonial offers the kind of comfort, craftsmanship, and peace of mind that’s increasingly hard to find. Thoughtfully designed and maintained since it was built in 2004, this home blends timeless style with practical features for everyday living. With over 4,300 square feet, the layout provides generous space without feeling overwhelming. The home is permitted for four bedrooms, with flexibility for additional rooms to accommodate guests, hobbies, or a home office. Five full bathrooms and a half bath ensure convenience for both residents and visitors. The main level is designed for ease and accessibility, featuring a spacious primary suite with a spa-like bathroom, complete with a soaking tub. A two-story great room with a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace creates a welcoming gathering space, while hardwood floors and central air conditioning add comfort throughout. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality Viking appliances, ideal for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. Outside, the property has been thoughtfully improved to enhance mountain views and to maximize natural light. Additional features include a heated two-car garage, a large laundry room, ample storage space, and a finished lower level with a recreation or fitness area that opens directly to a bluestone patio. An elevated screened porch offers a quiet place to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape.
