This one-of-a-kind huge sprawling ranch has a multitude of features which includes a gourmet kitchen with solid cherry cabinets, granite countertops and backsplash, walk-in-pantry, two undermount sinks plus high-end stainless-steel appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador oven with warming drawer, Miele steam oven, Gaggenau exhaust hood and heavy-duty auxiliary roof exhaust. There is also a large center cooktop island offering more counter space and cabinets. The separate eating area is connected to the vaulted ceiling and skylights family room adding to the open feel of this home. There are 2 large offices, and the primary suite has a double tray ceiling with multi-color option lighting, recessed lighting, plus a huge bathroom with dual vanities and oversized whirlpool bathtub. The suite also boasts a balcony that overlooks the heavily wooded yard. One of the additional bathrooms has a separate custom steam shower. Another feature is the attached cedar sunroom with cathedral ceilings and wood burning stove. There is a finished English basement which adds almost 1200 square feet of additional living space! This practical lower level offers another full bath, storage room, recreation room and utility room. There are three HVAC systems to ensure the home is comfortable and balanced. There is a four-car attached garage and an additional outbuilding with workshop, and the almost 3-acre corner lot is zoned for horses for those so inclined. All of this was the inspiration for the recent purchase in mid 2024. This was intended to be the dream home for the purchasers until a turn of events has caused them to stop the finishing touches and sell the property AS IS at a price that roughly breaks even. However, what an AS IS THIS IS! The following is a list of the nearly half million dollars spent on upgrades made in their march to completing their Dream Home. The home has a 400 AMP service with 4 separate electrical boxes. Two panel additions for the generators are completely new and all boxes have been labeled. There are also two state-of the-art silent electrical generators (info and warranty attached) strategically located so you will always have power for necessities plus much, much more. Additionally, electrical upgrades include new ceiling fans, lighting inside and out, and driveway / entryway lighting. Almost one hundred and fifty thousand was spent to bring everything up to current standards. Existing hardwood floors were sanded and stained and the remainder of the house had new hardwood installed including the entire basement and stairs leading up and down. Hardwood floors now run throughout the whole house. The entire roof including the outbuilding and shed were complete tear offs and replaced with completely new roof, gutters, and gutter guards. The warranty is attached in the documents. The entire building was tuckpointed and the very large decking in front and rear is completely new built with composite weatherproof material. The entire home, including garage has been completely painted and the garage floor has been pressure washed and painted. The mechanicals are all in good working order but are not new, so to put any concerns to rest a 5-year Choice Home Warranty ULTIMIATE plan will be issued to the purchaser at closing. See attached copy of policy in documents. With so much done and so little to do and the assurance of the 5-year plan included all you need to do is move in and enjoy. Additional work may or may not be desired.
