Welcome to your peaceful paradise. This exceptional home was tastefully and extensively remodeled in 2022 with over $400,000 in renovations and upgrades by the current owners. Offering more than 5,600 square feet of finished living space, it is nestled on just under 6 acres of pristine, professionally landscaped grounds. The main level was completely reimagined: walls were removed to create a true open-concept layout, highlighted by beautiful wood beams, elegant columns, new flooring, and upgraded lighting throughout. At the heart of the home is a brand-new, high-end chef’s kitchen featuring a massive granite island, all-new cabinetry, and premium appliances—including a steam oven. A full butler’s pantry extends the kitchen’s functionality, complete with a sink, high-end cabinetry, and a stylish brick accent wall. A converted closet in the pantry has been thoughtfully designed as a dedicated freeze-drying area. The former side entry to the garage has been transformed into a heated mudroom, adding comfort and utility. The freeze-dryer room, mudroom, and “blue bathroom” all feature heated flooring—perfect for staying cozy when you come in from winter weather. The main-floor laundry was completely gutted and reconfigured into a combined powder room and laundry with heated tile floors, built-in cabinetry, and direct access to the outdoor pool area. From here, doors open onto a brand-new deck with stairs leading down to the backyard and the in-ground pool. For added convenience, an additional laundry room was created upstairs, complete with a utility sink and cabinetry for maximum functionality. All hardwood floors on both the main and upper levels have been refinished, giving the home a fresh, cohesive feel. Thoughtful mechanical and aesthetic updates include: New water heater Radon mitigation system New gas line in the dining room, ready for an additional fireplace New electric wall sconces Recent 2025–2026 upgrades further enhance the property: New pump and salt cell for the stunning saltwater in-ground pool Brand-new pool cover Entire interior of the home freshly repainted (2026) New roof, gutters, and window screens on the main home and the large detached garage (September 2025) The fully finished basement and outdoor pool area are equipped with a new Sonos audio system, ideal for entertaining family and friends on warm summer evenings. A state-of-the-art solar panel system, valued at over $125,000, will be PAID IN FULL by the sellers at settlement with an acceptable offer—providing significant long-term energy savings and value.
