The drive home is different here. As the road winds to the end of the quiet cul-de-sac, the trees begin to surround you, the pace slows, and the noise of the day fades away. Set on 10.39 acres of mature woods and just minutes from thousands of acres of state land, this custom-built ranch was thoughtfully designed by the current owner with quality craftsmanship and longevity in mind. Every space reflects thoughtful planning, timeless design, and exceptional pride of ownership. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and rich oak flooring create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The custom hickory kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring quality cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island with seating, and an easy flow into the dining area. Whether you’re preparing dinner, visiting with family, or entertaining friends, the space feels connected and inviting. A two-sided gas fireplace links the living room and knotty pine den, offering two cozy places to gather, read a book, orsimply enjoy a quiet evening. The main floor offers a spacious primary suite with a private bath and walk-in closet, plus a second bedroom that’s perfect for guests, family, or a home office. A mudroom with custom lockers, main floor laundry, surround sound, and central vacuum make everyday living effortless. Downstairs, the finished walkout lower level creates space for whatever life brings next. Two additional bedrooms, a kitchenette, expansive family and recreation areas, a dual-fuel fireplace with both wood and gas options, and direct access to the covered patio make it ideal for entertaining or hosting overnight guests. A large unfinished room with its own exterior entrance offers endless possibilities as a workshop, hobby space, home gym, office, or future fifth bedroom. Outside, life slows down even more. Summer evenings on the expansive deck overlooking the woods. Fires shared beneath the stars. Morning coffee as wildlife wanders through the trees.
