Old-world charm meets thoughtful modern comforts in this lovingly updated home. A custom kitchen centers on a large generous granite island and handcrafted cabinetry; nearby a laundry room with a butlers pantry keeps daily life quietly elegant. Recessed lighting and gleaming wood floors warm the interiors, while new primary quarters include an ADA compliant Ensuite and walk-in closet. Rich wood trim and crown moldings frame each room, and a Dutch mahogany front door sets a luxurious tone. Solar panels and batteries. A 12 foot folding patio door dissolves the boundary to a parklike hardscape, a propane fire feature, and a covered outdoor kitchen with a woodfired pizza oven create a year round gathering place. Minisplit for absolute climate control, a water softener and filtration system, plus two outbuildings (one suited as an office) add practical comfort. Guest quarters offers gorgeous finishes, cabinetry, and ample storage. Quiet and inviting. You will forget the world outside and create your new world here.
