Come home to this uniquely stunning home sited on 5 lush acres of perennial foliage, flowers, open fields, and hardwood trees. Blankets of lily of the valley, day lilies, and hosta surround the exterior slate patios and grounds. Hear the sound of birds at your back door in this peaceful, relaxing setting. The light and bright six-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home is set amidst a paradise of trees and pastures. It is situated in one of the two quiet cul-de-sac streets in the neighborhood of Maple Branch Estates. The friendly community offers bridle trails that line the neighborhood, perfect for a trail ride or a serene walk in the woods.
The three-stall barn with concrete flooring was converted into a Ninja Gym, including an inverted bouldering rock wall, with a separate personal project room/gym in the tack room. It has water and electricity. A must see! (The barn could be easily converted back to a horse barn.) The level lot has 2 acres of open pastures and a horse trail easement along the border of the property.
This home was originally the personal custom-built home of a well renowned builder who developed the neighborhood. The four-sided brick house with a new cedar shake roof and skylights is a solidly built home with expansive windows to enjoy the park-like setting. The interior features include vaulted, cathedral and tray ceilings, as well as intricate trim work and built-in bookcases. There are walls of custom new windows - the home is bright, open, unique. There are hardwood floors throughout the first floor and in all the bedrooms on the upper floors.
On the left of the slate floor entry foyer is a first-floor office with built-in bookshelves. On the opposite side, to the right, is a breathtaking open living room with cathedral ceilings and built-in bookshelves, along with a floor-to-ceiling custom masonry wood burning fireplace. The elegant and bright dining room has a sliding glass door that overlooks beautiful flower beds and a wooded vista. The renovated, vaulted-ceiling kitchen features 3 skylights, cherry cabinets, custom granite counter tops, tile backsplash, dual sinks with disposals, a Subzero refrigerator, stainless steel double ovens, and a quiet stainless-steel dishwasher. The massive island has a spacious seating area for snacks or homework. The kitchen also has an intimate family eating space with a sliding glass door that leads to a large slate patio. The comfortable family room next to the kitchen features hardwood flooring, dual sliding glass doors leading to a side patio, and a second wood burning fireplace with a gas connection.
There are front and back staircases that lead to the upper floors. One side is the master bedroom wing that has a large master bedroom with a renovated ensuite bathroom featuring dual pocket etched-glass doors, cherry cabinets, and a walk-in closet with custom shelving and drawers. There is a second bedroom on the master bedroom side, perfect for an office, sitting room, or nursery. A second renovated bathroom with a tub completes the master bedroom wing - his and hers bathrooms, if wanted. In the childrens wing, there are four bedrooms with custom features like niches, bench seating, and a private balcony. There are two renovated Jack-and-Jill bathrooms between the four bedrooms.
Downstairs, the open and expansive lower-level features tray ceilings, perfect for a billiard room and a media center; there is also a huge laundry area and extra storage space. The mud room connected to the oversized garage offers a convenient landing place for coats, shoes, and bags. There is a new cedar shake roof, gutters, skylights and newer HVAC systems, hot water heater, and water filter. Additionally, there is a 15KW generator with a 500-gallon propane tank. This original custom home is waiting for its new owners. Come home and relax in paradise.
