Set atop a gentle rise, this sun-soaked contemporary offers privacy and tranquility on 12.8 beautiful acres-just minutes from town. Through a buffer of roadside trees, a clearing greets you as you pull into the well-maintained driveway and arrive at this secluded home. Whether you enter through the covered front door or the oversized garage - perfect for parking, projects, or toys - both lead into the large tiled mudroom and an adjacent, updated half bath and laundry. Step into the main living area where skylights and south-facing windows allow sunshine to pour in, filling the room to the vaulted ceilings above. At the rear of the home, the spacious kitchen offers plenty of storage and counter space, and opens to a convenient central dining area. A sliding door leads to a quiet back deck, perfect for summer cookouts. Down the hall, a bedroom, office, and a full bath complete the first floor, which has radiant heating throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite features a large closet and a tiled ensuite bath with jetted tub, stand-up shower, and double vanity. A second oversized room-with its own full ensuite-offers flexibility as a bedroom, studio, or bonus play space. Outside, a fenced-in pond, perennials, and open lawn invite you to enjoy every facet of this lovely, private property, and the owned solar array takes full advantage of the site's incredible light. Quiet, modern, and low-maintenance, this home is the perfect blend of country living and in-town convenience.
