Formal and informal dining spaces, multiple fireplaces, dedicated office areas, and an impressive upper-level owner's suite provide flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. The current owners have invested extensively in the property, new well pump, water treatment upgrades, HVAC improvements, refinished hardwood floors, interior painting, remodeled bathrooms, updated lighting and fixtures, garage improvements, smart-home enhancements, and numerous additional updates throughout the home. Step outside to discover what truly sets this property apart. The resort-style backyard features a large pool, expansive patio, covered pavilion, outdoor kitchen and bar area, multiple gathering spaces, and breathtaking views of the surrounding grounds. Whether hosting graduation parties, holiday celebrations, family reunions, pool parties, or quiet evenings under the stars, this property was designed to bring people together. The walkout lower level serves as a complete entertainment destination with room for billiards, air hockey, movie nights, gaming stations, a wet bar, guest accommodations, workout room, sauna, bath with shower, additional office or music room, and the unique underground garage space affectionately known as "The Bunker." Properties that successfully combine privacy, acreage, extensive improvements, outdoor amenities, and accessibility are becoming increasingly difficult to find. More than simply a luxury home, this is a portfolio-quality real estate asset, a place to create memories today while owning something truly special for years to come. Properties can offer square footage. Some offer acreage. A select few offer a setting that naturally becomes the backdrop for family traditions, celebrations, and memories.
