Tucked among mature trees and set back from the road, this distinctive property blends lodge inspired architecture with expansive outdoor living spaces and a beautifully wooded setting that feels private and retreat like. A long gravel drive, electric gate, broad lawn, and dramatic facade with a central gable, exposed trusses, and a wide covered porch create an unforgettable first impression. The exterior features warm wood tones, substantial columns, and a metal roof that enhances the rustic character. A large covered parking area and attached workshop add valuable versatility for vehicles, equipment, and projects. The front porch is a standout-deep, shaded, and spacious enough for multiple seating areas, with ceiling fans, hanging ferns, and wood decking that set a relaxed tone. Inside, the open concept great room immediately impresses with soaring vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, and expansive windows that frame views of the surrounding trees. Wide plank flooring and a dramatic floor to ceiling stone fireplace anchor the space, offering both visual impact and inviting warmth. The layout provides flexibility for living, dining, and gathering, all connected to the kitchen. The kitchen features abundant warm toned cabinetry, extensive counter space, a large center island with seating and cooktop, a copper vent hood and stainless steel appliances. A mosaic backsplash, open shelving, and generous storage add style and function. The adjoining breakfast nook and dining area enjoy wooded views and easy access to outdoor spaces. The primary bedroom continues the home's warm aesthetic with wood flooring, recessed lighting, and direct outdoor access. A barn style door leads to the ensuite bath, which includes dual vessel sinks, wood cabinetry, open shelving, and a large glass enclosed walk in shower with decorative tile. Additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, office use, or hobbies. The lower level expands the living space with a large family room, tile flooring, recessed lighting, and multiple generously sized bedrooms. Bathrooms on this level blend rustic and updated finishes, including walk in showers, furniture style vanities, and ample storage. A well equipped laundry room with exterior access and organized utility areas add everyday convenience. Outdoor living is a major highlight, with substantial covered decking and patio space ideal for relaxing, grilling, and enjoying the wooded surroundings. Fencing sections, mature trees, and open grassy areas create a peaceful, private atmosphere. The workshop and covered bays provide exceptional utility for tools, equipment, vehicles, or hobby needs. The grounds include expansive lawn areas, wooded sections, and a raised structure deeper into the yard. Aerial views show the home's secluded placement and impressive tree coverage, reinforcing the property's retreat like feel. This home is defined by its architectural presence, warm interior character, and exceptional connection to nature. Vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, a double-sided stone fireplace, generous kitchen, multiple living areas, extensive porches, workshop space, and wooded acreage combine to create a one of a kind offering with comfort, functionality, and timeless rustic appeal.
