Property Description
Nestled on nearly 11 picturesque acres, this beautiful two-story home offers timeless charm and breathtaking countryside views from nearly every room. A welcoming front porch creates the perfect first impression. As you make your way to the front door, you'll pass a thoughtfully designed raised garden with drip irrigation, adding both beauty and functionality to the home's inviting entrance. Topped with a durable metal roof, this home blends classic farmhouse appeal with modern comfort. Step inside to discover rich hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and an abundance of natural light from the home's updated windows. Just off the entry, a cozy sitting room centers around a beautiful fireplace framed by a handcrafted walnut mantel that extends across the top and sides. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, extensive cabinetry with elegant glass-front display cabinets, pendant lighting, a built-in breakfast nook with hidden storage, and generous workspace for preparing meals and entertaining. The dining room opens to the living room through sliding doors, while walls of windows showcase spectacular views of the surrounding acreage. All three bedrooms are located upstairs. The spacious primary suite features a private balcony overlooking the backyard, pond, and rolling countryside. The primary bath includes a freestanding clawfoot tub with Kingston Brass fixtures, striking black-and-white checkered tile, an oversized floor-to-ceiling quartz shower with matching Kingston Brass fixtures, coordinating sink fixtures, and recessed lighting. Window nooks along the hallway provide peaceful places to enjoy the views, and the guest bathroom also features a charming clawfoot tub. Outside, nearly 11 acres offer endless opportunities to enjoy the peaceful setting, complete with a picturesque pond. This exceptional property combines privacy, character, and country living just minutes from the conveniences of Elgin.
