Custom Country Contemporary Elevated living and detailed finishes welcome you at every turn. This remarkable contemporary home is nestled amongst the trees on a serene country road in a naturally beautiful setting. Positioned off the road, the curved gravel driveway leads to the attached garage and main entry detailed with large granite pavers and an architecturally pleasing iron rain chain. Upon entering the home the foyer welcomes you into a sophisticated, detailed and refined space that, without effort, combines modern elegance and comfort with the peace and relaxation of its surroundings. Floor to ceiling windows in the open concept living and dining room space engulf the entire room and kitchen with natural light. Custom cabinetry, waterfall quartz island, upper-tier appliances, unexpected accents and detail complete the heart of this home. The open-concept and large windows instinctively cause you to focus on and want to experience the expansive 16'x24' covered patio where you can entertain or relax on these warm summer evenings. The atmosphere of luxury and exceptional design runs throughout and extends to all three bedrooms, baths and laundry/mudroom spaces. The primary bedroom suite is stunning, offering a private patio, en-suite bath with a curb-less porcelain tiled shower and bespoke 12'x7' walk-in closet. Enough cannot be said about the care, detail and craftsmanship that makes this home a showstopper for even the most discerning of owners. Please see additional documents for detailed information regarding the homes features and unique characteristics.
