Perched atop a hill just north of Cobden, this custom home offers 4 BR, 2.5 baths and features like no other: a light-filled butler's pantry, vintage built-ins, and a fireplace with custom woodwork and sconces. Want more? How about a brick herringbone pattern in the greenhouse, a main en suite with two walk-in closets, skylights, and an office space overlooking a private deck. Arched doorways, a screened porch with composite decking flowing to a rocked fountain, and no neighbors in sight. Custom living room lighting to look like theater lights. Rounding out your reasons to come see this one: huge open kitchen island, roll out pantry shelving, screened-in porch with composite decking, plus newer cabinets. Custom built by a local drive-in theater owner, this beautiful home has only had two owners since it was constructed. Front and back staircases. Covered front porch. Laundry chute from the second floor to laundry area. Glass block shower in basement is great for pets, muddy boots. Storm shelter room in basement. Attached garage. Pond with waterfall, plus pear and crabapple trees. Step inside, and come see all this amazing home has for you!
