The setting of this remarkable property feels like a scene from A Land Remembered. Custom built on 20 acres, this stunning Craftsman-style residence was thoughtfully constructed by a professional contractor for his personal residence. The driveway entrance welcomes you beneath a sweeping canopy of heritage oaks that guide you to the home, setting the tone for the natural beauty that surrounds it.
Built in 2002, the all Hardi-Board exterior is complemented by screened porches on every side of the home, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. An expansive covered front screen porch leads to the welcoming foyer, where original oak hardwood floors continue through the kitchen, downstairs hallway, and primary suite. To the left of the foyer, the grand great room impresses with a vaulted ceiling, wood-burning stove fireplace, abundant natural light, and built-in bookshelves flanking both sides of a cozy window seat. The kitchen truly serves as the heart of the home and showcases the Craftsman style, featuring repurposed vintage wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with smooth cooktop, stainless steel appliances including a newer refrigerator and dishwasher, prep sink, reverse osmosis system, and exceptional storage throughout. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious dining area with a bay window and french doors topped with a stained-glass transom, opening to the main screened porch overlooking the yard and a picturesque pond. A long hallway with floor-to-ceiling storage closets leads to the primary suite, highlighted by a tongue-and-groove ceiling and its own private screened porch. The en-suite bath includes dual sinks with marble counter, a private water closet with bidet, a large shower, and a jetted soaking tub. Across the hall is a flexible guest bedroom ideal for an office, exercise room, or studio space. The first floor is completed by a half bath, small office, laundry room with washer and dryer, a generous A/C mudroom/potting room with sink and private entrance to the yard, and great storage in the spacious under-stair closet. Upstairs offers a large bonus or family room, three charming bedrooms—each with window seats—a full bath with large shower, and a cozy reading nook. One guest bedroom opens to a private balcony. This one-of-a-kind property has been thoughtfully updated, including a new roof (2025), water heater (2024), water softener (2025), and new gutters. The grounds feature open cleared areas with landscaping beds including blueberry bushes and pear trees. No HOA, with service from Duke Energy and Spectrum high-speed internet.
