A house that rivals the properties you've seen in Southern Living Magazine, this oversized, custom designed ranch plan says "Welcome Home" in a big way! The curb appeal is impressive, with the house situated atop a knoll on the 1.5 acre lot. A long, wide driveway leads to the 2-car garage and continues around the left side of the house, providing easy access to the terrace level of the home, to additional parking space, and to the 3rd car garage.
One of the first things you'll love is the inviting covered front porch with its columns and beautiful flagstone floor and steps where it's so easy to see yourself relaxing and visiting with friends and family. The custom front door with leaded glass, sidelights and transome sets the tone for the extraordinary home inside.
To say that Mr. and Mrs. Clean live here is not an exaggeration, for the interior of the home--from the gleaming hardwood floors to the sparkling clean kitchen and baths--is immaculate. The huge greatroom boasts an impressive stacked stone fireplace and hearth, which is the focal point of the room. (Natural gas provides fuel for the gas logs in the fireplace as well as the kitchen's cooktop. All other systems in the house are electric.) The greatroom as well as the finished rec room/media room in the basement are wired for surround sound.
On the main floor of the home you'll find two bedroom suites--a master suite and a jr master suite. The junior master suite has a large walk-in closet and its own private bath with tile floors, beautiful cabinetry, separate water closet and a tub/shower combination. This suite is perfect for guests, as a teen suite, and as an in-law suite.
The master bedroom suite, arranged in a split bedroom plan, will no doubt be one of your favorite areas of the house! In addition to a large bedroom, there are two walk-in closets and an amazing luxury bathroom, sure to rival even the most extravagant 5-star hotel! The master bathroom floor is beautiful slate, which is carried through to the unbelieveable slate shower, with a seat and 3 shower heads! If a bath is your preference, you'll love the deep, oversized jetted tub, accented by a large window with faux stained glass. The tall vanity has two sinks, beautiful cabinetry, and cultured marble top. Overall, the master bathroom is truly amazing!
The large, thoughtfully-designed kitchen is sure to be the pride and joy of the chefs in the family! Plentiful countertops and cabinets, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances--including an island w/gas cooktop, double ovens, and side-by-side refrigerator--are accented by beautiful light fixtures and plentiful recessed lighting. There's a breakfast bar for quick snacks and informal meals and a large dining area, surrounded by windows which look out onto wooded privacy.
A door from the dining area leads to yet another wonderful surprise--an immense screened porch, where the peace, beauty and tranquility are sure to remind you of a mountain retreat. The screened porch is destined to become one of the most often used rooms in the house because of its versatility as a place to serve meals, a large space for entertaining, and even as a 'sleeping porch'!
One of the most popular areas of a home is the basement, especially if it's finished to provide additional living space. The basement, or terrace level, of this wonderful home has a very large recreation/family/media room, a great space for an office, a full bathroom, and an inviting bedroom. The finished rooms in the daylight basement are served by a dedicated heat and air conditioning system, separate from the system on the main level.
The basement also provides ample room for storage and--another custom feature--a 'safe room' with walls of poured concrete, the perfect storm shelter. There's a huge 3rd car garage, complete with automatic garage door opener, with its own separate driveway branching off the main driveway. An oversized, covered patio provides the perfect spot for a hammock or swing, and offers many opportunities for relaxing, reading, and just enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounding forest.
This beautiful, pristine home is waiting for you! Once you schedule your private tour of the property, you'll discover even more features, like a sophisticated security system, which have been added to the home by the owner/designer.
