Stunning Ranch Home with Custom Upgrades & Thoughtful Design. Over 3,000 finished sq ft. Welcome to this beautifully designed ranch-style home, where modern luxury meets everyday functionality. From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the attention to detail and high-end upgrades that make this home truly special. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, a custom creation by Sterling Woodworks (July 2023). Designed for both beauty and efficiency, it features a stunning Cambria quartz island, soft-close cabinetry, and an array of smart storage solutions, including a magnetic knife drawer, mixer lift, and pull-out pantry shelves. High-end stainless steel appliances, a Bosch built-in microwave, and a beverage fridge complete the space, while Brazilian White Oak engineered hardwood flooring flows seamlessly into the open dining area. A built-in pet water dish filler adds an extra touch of convenience. The master suite is a luxurious retreat, boasting a custom walk-in closet and an elegant spa-inspired bathroom with a Maax soaking tub, dual sinks, an 80-inch quartz vanity, and a beautifully tiled shower with a quartz seat. The guest bathroom, newly renovated in 2024, features stunning Calcutta Gold hexagon mosaic tile flooring and a sleek quartz vanity with soft-close cabinetry and built-in outlets for added convenience. Downstairs, a brand-new 3/4 bathroom complements the additional living space. The master and second bedrooms feature new flooring, solid-core doors, and elegant finishes, while the fourth bedroom, located in the lower level, is a unique and versatile space with French doors, a kitchenette, and an included wardrobe-perfect for guests or extended family. Throughout the home, you'll find thoughtful upgrades that enhance both style and function. A main-floor laundry room provides easy access to the deck and includes a convenient dog door. Warm recessed LED lighting creates a cozy ambiance, while a new smart thermostat (installed October 2024) allows for effortless temperature control from your mobile device. Custom cellular light-filtering shades offer privacy while still letting in plenty of natural light. The roof was replaced in 2016, and a new roof will be installed on the shed before closing. Mechanical updates included furnace and central air system (2017), water softener (January 2025) and new septic line (October 2024). A radon mitigation system, upgraded insulation (R-38 in January 2025), and a fully fenced backyard. Combining high-end finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and modern convenience, this home is a rare find.
