About This Home
Welcome to this extraordinary custom modern-day farmhouse, blending timeless charm with modern elegance, sitting on just over half an acre of beautifully landscaped land. The property includes a piece of history, as it features the original farmhouse dating back to the late 1700s, which now houses two charming rooms off the foyer and screened in porch. In 1988, the original farmhouse was raised off its old foundation and set upon a new base of concrete piers and I-beams. Then, in 2007, it was lovingly renovated and expanded to create the exquisite custom farmhouse you see today. With 4,360 sq. ft. of above-grade living space and an additional 536 sq. ft. of unfinished space below grade, this home offers 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms. The expansive, fenced-in backyard backs to tranquil trees, offering privacy and serenity. Main Level: As you approach, you’ll be greeted by a stunning foyer with dual generous-sized coat closets and a half bathroom. The original farmhouse parlor rooms are just off the foyer, complete with a screened-in porch and one of the two staircases leading to the upper levels. The seamless integration of the original farmhouse with the newer addition creates an inviting atmosphere with high ceilings, 10-inch crown moldings, baseboards, and recessed lighting throughout. The gourmet kitchen is the heart of this home, showcasing custom two-toned cabinetry, two dishwasher drawers, and a large center island with two layers of honed granite, featuring a prep sink, microwave drawer, and built-in sweep vacuum. Enjoy cooking with the imported AGA 4-door stove that includes a wok burner, simmer burner, and a companion 2-door oven with 4 burners, dual fuel, and turbo convection. The custom granite farmhouse sink, paired with an atrium window, provides a bright and welcoming space for meal prep. Adjacent to the kitchen, the intimate dining room offers a convenient yet private space for family meals and entertaining. The living room is perfect for relaxing or hosting guests, featuring a corner gas log fireplace, a coffee bar/wine area complete with a 20-bottle wine rack, sink, wine fridge, and ice maker. Access the private patio through this space, where you’ll find a waterproof deck roof above and a landscaped backyard beyond. Rounding out the main level is a practical mudroom, located just off the 2-vehicle carport and through the second main entrance into the home. Upstairs, the expansive second staircase leads you to the bedroom level. Bedroom 2, above the carport, offers versatility as a large bedroom, office, extra living space, or entertainment area, and includes an en-suite bathroom. The primary bedroom is a serene retreat, featuring hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings with skylights, elegant wainscoting, a gas fireplace, and French doors that open to a newly constructed Trex deck, perfect for evening relaxation. The primary bathroom is a luxurious sanctuary, complete with a walk-in shower, double vanity, 2-person soaking tub, and skylights. Two additional bedrooms share a convenient Jack and Jill bathroom, with the laundry area just across the hall. At the end of the hallway, you'll find another spacious bedroom with a charming full bathroom, complete with wood beam accents. The unfinished basement offers a wealth of possibilities for expansion, with 536 sq. ft. of space ready for your vision. Whether you’re looking to create a private home theater, an expansive game room, a gym, or even an in-law suite, the blank canvas of this basement allows for endless customization. Its high ceilings and open layout provide the perfect foundation for transforming this area into the additional living space you've always dreamed of. With the right design, this space can significantly enhance the home’s overall value and functionality. This property is truly one-of-a-kind, blending historical character with modern luxury. Welcome home!
