Nestled in the peaceful countryside of New Salem, this custom-built home offers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and functionality. Designed with a unique open floor plan, every detail was carefully crafted to create a welcoming atmosphere ideal for everyday living and unforgettable gatherings. The home's front entry welcomes you to the main living area, highlighted by soaring 12-foot ceilings, a spacious formal dining room, and a wet bar with stunning leathered granite-perfect for entertaining family and friends. At the heart of the home lies a chef's kitchen appointed with custom cabinetry, gleaming quartz counters, an expansive island, and a professional-grade Stainless Monogram appliance package-including a double-door wall oven. Accompanying the kitchen are the Breakfast Room, Keeping Room, and Wine Room adding yet another touch of sophistication. For effortless entertaining, a secondary Serving Kitchen with leathered granite counters and custom cabinetry provides the perfect staging area for large events. The Gathering Room serves as the ultimate venue for hosting, where open space and elegant design create an atmosphere of warmth and grandeur. The Sun Room with large windows provides ample natural light and plenty of space for seating around one of the home's 2 gas fireplaces. The luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary, boasting three oversized walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a spa-inspired bath with a cavernous shower and built-in bench seating. Just down the hall rests a dedicated study (currently styled as a pet room), with exterior access to the fenced pet yard. On the opposite wing, two generously appointed guest rooms with a spacious hall bath offer comfort and privacy, while a private office provides flexible lifestyle options. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The enclosed Porch, framed with Easy Breeze windows and warmed by an Infratech patio heater, offers year-round enjoyment. For alfresco dining and entertaining, a grilling gazebo, patio, and enclosed Pavilion with Easy Breeze windows extend the living experience into the landscape, blending comfort with the natural beauty of the countryside. The Porch and Pavilion are truly extended living areas of the home, offering flexibility and opportunities to connect with the beauty of the landscape. Just across the gravel drive is the detached 3-car garage with full electrical service and individual door openers. Next to the garage is an Amish built shed, also powered and standing at the ready for storage or workshop projects. There are many unique upgrades that went into the home's construction such as reinforced exterior doors, 300 foot deep Artesian Well producing 40 gallons per minute, water softener, 2 electric water heaters, crawlspace ventilation, generator hookup, multiple french drains for rainwater management, and more.
