Serenity and quality within the highly-ranked Highland School District! Enter this private wooded lot and as you drive through the trees they suddenly open upon a spacious yard and a classic, custom-built, center-hall colonial with columns that stretch to the roof above the wide front porch. Located on five acres, this home was built and enjoyed by only one family. Step through the front door into the welcoming foyer and you will find a sizable living room and a traditional dining room, which would also provide a nice office space. The updated eat-in kitchen has a gas stove, hardwood flooring and shaker-style white cabinetry. Off of the kitchen is your family room featuring a traditional gas fireplace with rough-hewn wood mantle and your enclosed porch which is warmed by a gas heater for year-round enjoyment. Notice the quality of the newel posts and railings as you go upstairs - beautiful! The Owner's Suite not only has a deep walk-in closet and connected bath but it also has its own balcony-deck overlooking the woods. There are two laundries - one in the basement and a convenient second-floor laundry closet in the hall. Outdoors you will find a patio area and a second garage - perfect space for your large projects or extra storage - and livestock is allowed. This is a great home to settle right in to or to personalize for your forever home.
