5 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ 846307 MLS ⋅ 5,113 SqFt. ⋅ Kaylie Black

Some homes impress you with their size. Others make you feel at home the moment you walk through the door. This one somehow does both. Tucked away on 13 beautiful acres while still conveniently located near town and everyday amenities, this 5 bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bath home offers more than 5,000 square feet of space designed for gathering, entertaining, and making memories for years to come. From the moment you arrive, the winding paved drive, mature trees and landscaping, brick walkway, and beautiful arched entrance set the tone. Step inside beneath the chandelier and you'll immediately notice the warmth and character carried throughout the home, from the beautiful wood trim to four fireplaces tucked into some of its most inviting spaces. The main living room feels made for gathering, while the library/den begs for a good book and a fire on a quiet evening. A separate sitting room adds another cozy place to settle in, and the spacious kitchen with an island and eat in area flows naturally into the dining space, making everyday life and hosting a crowd feel equally at home here. The main level primary suite is a retreat all its own, complete with a fireplace and a spacious ensuite where a vaulted ceiling and dramatic arched window frame the elevated soaking tub. Generously sized bedrooms and incredible closet space throughout mean there is truly room to spread out without sacrificing the charm that makes this home feel so special. And then there's the backyard. The expansive in ground pool with a retractable cover, hot tub, and pool house with an additional half bath create a space made for summer days that turn into summer nights. Beyond the pool, the acreage stretches out around the home, with a pole barn and attached 3 car garage adding even more space and versatility. This is the house where everyone gathers. The one where pool days become traditions, holidays feel a little more magical, and there always seems to be room for one more around the table.
