Every day is a vacation on this breathtaking property with creeks, cliffs and small waterfalls. This resort-like home is a stunning blend of antique fixtures and vintage styling in a modern home. The Main Level Kitchen, Dining Room and Living Room each have oak floors, crown molding and a full 9 feet of insulated, tilt-in windows that overlook the woods and the creek. The Kitchen and Dining Room are anchored by two Sub-Zero appliances: a full-size refrigerator and a full-size freezer, clad in Amish-crafted cherry facings that match the cabinetry. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a priceless, carved, antique walnut table that doubles as an island. All surfaces are a rare South American granite. Opposite the double oven is an antique mantle with a Dimplex electric fireplace. Beneath the antique chandelier is a generous Dining Room that easily accommodates a table for ten. The Living Room features a wood-burning fireplace, recessed zone lighting with dimmers and a Bose Surround Sound System. The Master Suite is also on the main level and offers many amenities: an oversize walk-in closet, master bath with jet tub, steam room/shower and antique double vanity. A whole house attic fan is right outside the door. It cools the house in summer and when the timer turns it off, youre left with the sounds of the creek outside your window. The Laundry Room is conveniently adjacent to the Master Suite and features a large hanging bar, generous folding counter, built-in ironing station and storage for the whole-house vacuum. The Elevated Screened Porch with wood-burning fireplace gives a birds eye view of the woods. The porch with its cook deck is on the leeward side of the house making it a perfect place to relax during rain showers. The Mud Room, with plenty of hooks and closet space is the perfect buffer between the living space and the garage. The Oversize Three-Car Garage has two workshop areas with built-in work benches. One is heated and enclosed for woodworking projects. The other is an open part of the garage, intended for more mechanical projects. Lower Walkout Level: The custom staircase to the lower level is wide and gradual. It may not sound important, but its extremely easy to navigate for the very young and the elderly and is a real asset when moving furniture. The Large Family Room looks out on pool through its nine-foot bank of windows and triple glass doors. At one end of the family room is a computer work station. There are three Bedrooms on the lower level. They vary in size from medium to extra large, and easily accommodate up to 8 guests. The large, full bath comes with a retrofitted antique vanity. There is also a large Billiard Room (no short sticks needed!)and two Storage Rooms, one of which houses the mechanicals. Outside The pale green solid vinyl siding was specifically selected to help the house be a part of the natural surroundings. The In-Ground Pool is16 x 28 and is only 4 feet deep by design. Its a perfect party pool. No deep end. The pool is great for little ones, rafters and water games. The seating area and part of pool apron are covered by a custom pergola. Dimming floodlights illuminate the area. The Grounds Creekstone Paths lead you through spacious mature gardens designed to flower from early spring through autumn. Native stone stairs lead to the 16x24 Amish-made, screened Gazebo, strategically placed beside a waterfall and flowering redbuds. The Creek itself is a run-off creek. Its depth and speed will vary with the seasons and the weather conditions. Most days it can be walked and is a treasure trove of fossilized shell and coral. A mile of Trails has been cut through the wildlife-filled woods. An 18 x 24 two-story storage Barn matches the house. The turnaround driveway encircles the Illuminated Flagpole with its sensor light. Approximately 2-acres are wired for Invisible Fence. The Intangibles Being at the end of a private road, the nights are country dark and the moons are incredibly bright. Youve probably never experienced star-gazing and meteor showers like this. Youve probably never experience this degree of quiet and privacy, while still having neighbors close enough to keep you from feeling isolated. The southeastern exposure and large windows take full advantage of the sun and enhance energy efficiency. For being 26.25 acres, the property requires surprisingly little maintenance. It only takes an hour and fifteen minutes to mow the lawn. The woods are virtually self-sustaining. However, if you love working outdoors, theres always a lot you can do, including taking advantage of the endless supply of firewood. The land is ever-changing. The trees grow, the water changes the creekbed, the gardens mature. Each year is different from the last, each season is different from the one before, each day is truly a unique treasure.
