This stately Victorian-style home offers peace and privacy, located on 5 acres in Elgin's Tallawood neighborhood of estate-sized homesites. Framed by large trees and mature landscaping (maintained with a full irrigation system), the commanding exterior boasts an idyllic front porch. A solid mahogany front door leads to an impressive foyer lined with Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and accented by heavy molding. The first floor living spaces flow together seamlessly from the formal wainscoting-adorned dining room to the spacious eat-in kitchen and cozy living room with a coffered ceiling. The kitchen offers extensive storage and high-end appliances, while the adjacent mudroom features custom built-ins and an additional dishwasher and refrigerator for easy hosting. Two of the six generous bedrooms are also located on the first floor including a primary suite with a dual vanity bathroom and luxurious walk-in closet. Upstairs, find three additional bedrooms and a comfortable family media room with surround wiring. This true entertainer's home offers further gathering space in the finished basement with 10 foot ceilings, a fireplace, wet bar, bathroom, and the sixth bedroom. Outside, a covered Ipe deck wraps around the back of the house overlooking the manicured lawn and elegant fire pit. The grounds include a detached insulated garage with power and water, making it an ideal workshop. Northeast of Columbia, this home is less than 30 minutes from the State House.
