Peaceful mornings and country views await on 3.22 high-and-dry acres. The land is ready for whatever you have in mind next: add a garden, add a workshop, or simply open space to enjoy, without the upkeep of a large tract. The home has a story to tell. After Hurricane Georges came through in 1998, much of the home's framing was built from trees that fell on the land. They were cut and dried on site. The staircase was crafted from an old oak tree that fell at a friend's home just down the road. Handcrafted details continue throughout. The custom fireplace mantel was made to match the posts on the porches. There are custom solid wood cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms, along with a custom solid wood bar. Antique wooden French doors open from the kitchen to the dining room. Inside, an open split-bedroom floor plan makes for relaxed, easy living. The family room features a soaring ceiling and a wood burning fireplace with blower. The kitchen with breakfast bar is the natural gathering spot, and beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the living room and dining room. The main level has 4 bedrooms and the laundry room. Upstairs you'll find not one but 2 LARGE BONUS rooms that can serve as additional bedrooms, a craft room/office area, and a big flex space for a playroom, game room, or media lounge. Outside, you can plant a garden, enjoy the open acreage, and cool off on hot summer days in the in-ground fiberglass pool, enclosed with vinyl fencing. There is also a detached single garage, a charming cottage for storage or a she-shed, fencing, and an automatic drive-through front gate for privacy and convenience. Major updates include brand-new double-pane energy-efficient windows, a newer smart HVAC system with humidity control, and a newer roof, all with warranties.
