Multiple offers received – highest and best due by 6pm on Sunday, May 3. This home offers the perfect mix of high-end utility and natural beauty on a premier 2 acre lot backing directly to Messenger Woods. The 2,037 sq ft rustic mid-century ranch features custom woodwork and a sunken living room with the first of two wood-burning heatilator fireplaces. The kitchen shines with granite counters, newer stove and fridge, and backyard views, leading to a lodge-like family room with a second fireplace and three-sided views of the woods. The four bedrooms include a master ensuite with a walk-in closet across the hall, while the mostly finished basement provides a gym, rec room, and a pool table that stays. Outside, enjoy a private pond (sometimes used in winter for ice hockey) and a massive ground-level deck, a brand-new 2024 hot tub, and an 18′ Sunsetter awning. The hobbyist’s facilities are unmatched: a two-car attached garage plus a separate two-car detached heated garage with storage, PLUS a two-story climate-controlled outbuilding featuring a professional woodshop (31’x23′) and loft office. Infrastructure is top-tier, including a 2022 Rheem HVAC with UV purification and humidifier, an Ecoflo Coco Filter septic (2020) with service paid through 2026, and a 2019 Hague water softener with warranty and newer water heater. Complete with a 2024 sump system with battery backup and ADT security across all buildings and gutter guards on all buildings, this horse-friendly, meticulously maintained retreat borders old oaks and miles of trails.
