Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind custom remodeled home where thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and modern convenience come together on 5.19 picturesque acres.

The stunning custom kitchen features illuminated cabinetry with toe-kick, under-cabinet, and upper-cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage designed for both function and style. The inviting living room showcases a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace and an oversized picture window framing peaceful country views. Just beyond, the all-seasons sunroom offers a wall of windows overlooking the backyard and stocked pond, with an interior control panel that operates the pond fountain and gazebo lighting. The private mother-in-law suite offers exceptional comfort with radiant heated floors, a mini-split HVAC system, and its own living space. Both kitchens include convenient point-of-use tankless water heaters at the sink for instant hot water. Built with efficiency and peace of mind in mind, this home features custom hot and cold water manifolds that allow individual water line isolation, a built-in video security system, centralized light controls that illuminate all exterior lighting with a single switch, an encapsulated crawlspace, and a commercial-grade whole-house generator capable of powering not only this home but several others if needed.
