For Sale $875,000
Some homes simply cannot be replicated. This is one of them. For the first time in its history this extraordinary private retreat is available — and the story it tells begins before you ever reach the front door. The driveway stretches more than 1,500 feet through a mature hardwood forest; with the extraordinary bigleaf magnolias this area is known for and loved for scattered throughout the woods on either side. By the time you arrive you have already left the world behind. That is not an accident. That is a feature. Set on 7.26 private acres this all brick 1.5 story home with a full basement was built to honor its surroundings — and it does. Nature wraps every window, every porch, and every quiet morning here. Inside, the main level offers three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, one wood burning fireplaces, a well-appointed kitchen, a formal dining room, a sunlit breakfast room, and the convenience of main level laundry — everything you need thoughtfully placed where you actually live. Upstairs a generous bonus room filled with natural light from skylights and served by a full bath gives you space that grows with you — a studio, a retreat, a playroom, a home office. Two expansive walk-in attic spaces provide the kind of storage most homes can only dream of. Below grade the partial basement with a wood burning stove and fully operational fireplace is the kind of space that becomes whatever you need it to be — and warms every inch of it beautifully when the season calls for it. A workshop and generous storage make this level as hardworking as it is inviting. Whether you are crafting, building, organizing, or simply creating a space that is entirely your own this basement delivers on every front. Step outside and the two-year-old screened porch invites you to sit, breathe, and watch the forest do what it has been doing for decades — without a single uninvited guest. Deer, birdsong, rustling leaves, and the remarkable canopy of the bigleaf magnolias are your neighbors here. They have been good ones. A 24-kilowatt whole-house generator means this sanctuary is never without power — and never without comfort. This is a home that takes care of you the way you take care of it. First time on the market. Last chance to make it yours.
