House Description

Offered for the first time, this exceptional 19-acre country estate showcases American Cape Cod architecture, breathtaking views, and nearly 46 years of meticulous ownership and care. Custom-built by the original owners, this one-of-a-kind property is prominently positioned atop a scenic hill, offering exceptional curb appeal and panoramic views. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers over 3,500 total sqft, including more than 2,200 finished sqft, with 4 bedrooms & 3 full baths. The spacious eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry, two striking brick accent walls, a pantry, and beautiful 3/4-inch solid oak flooring. A new 6ft patio door opens to the backyard and includes a professionally installed accordion shade. Step outside to an 18x16 maintenance-free composite deck with vinyl railings, leading to a picturesque Amish-built screened gazebo-an ideal setting to enjoy peaceful country evenings & observing wildlife. Professionally landscaped by Country Arbors with an impressive collection of perennials, stone accents & a beautiful brick walk. A versatile main-level bedroom features a lg walk-in-closet & direct access to a full bath & laundry area, making it ideal as a primary suite, guest room, home office, formal dining room, or additional living space. The 2nd-level primary suite was professionally remodeled to include a private bath with a 4 ft shower w/bench, subway tile surround & pedestal sink. Additional 2nd-level bedrooms offer charm with dormer windows, built-in room-darkening shades, ample closet space & custom shelving. Future expansion opportunities abound. A massive 23x24 unfinished attic space with 220V/50-amp service & separate HVAC circuitry could be converted into an approximately 600 sqft apartment or studio. The full unfinished basement adds another 1,200 sqft for shelter, storage & future expansion.
