Welcome to a one-of-a-kind lifestyle property where timeless craftsmanship meets modern comfort-highlighted by an exceptional 8-car heated pole barn garage and workshop that truly sets this home apart. Designed for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or small business owners, this impressive 1,450 sq ft structure features a lofted second story, full insulation, gas heat, water service, and its own dedicated electric, coax, and Cat-5 connections. Built with durable steel trusses and a reinforced 4.5″ concrete floor, it’s ready for heavy-duty use, while the negotiable 10,000 lb vehicle lift makes it ideal for auto restoration, storage, or creative workspace needs. Inside the home, every detail reflects quality and character-from custom stained-glass windows and extended second-story ceiling heights to a trey-ceiling entry and a stunning natural river rock fireplace, meticulously hand-selected and laid. The thoughtful layout includes a first-floor primary suite with private deck access and a spa-like en-suite bath featuring Italian marble, a jetted tub, and a rainfall shower. A versatile fifth bedroom offers flexibility as a home office or den. The kitchen opens seamlessly to a walkout patio, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including one that has been recently remodeled with a heated floor for added comfort and luxury, along with a private en-suite-ideal for guests, in-laws, or a private retreat. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a full-length deck surrounded by mature landscaping, where frequent sightings of deer and wild turkeys enhance the peaceful, retreat-like setting. Additional highlights include a vented skylight, updated LED lighting, a shingled roof, external utility hookups for a future pool, and separate metering for added convenience. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof and gutters (2025), new chimney (2023), whole-house generator (2022), HVAC (2020), and tankless water heater (2017). This is more than a home-it’s a rare opportunity to own a property where the pole barn garage is not just an accessory, but a centerpiece, offering unmatched space, versatility, and potential just steps from your door.
