Property Description

**OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1-2:30PM**Generations of history, 10.64 wooded acres, and architectural character at every turn make this PHM property an extraordinary opportunity. Held by the same family for generations, the home grew from a modest 1925 residence into the expansive home created by the current owner in the 1970s, incorporating the original footprint. Today, more than 5,000 finished square feet blend traditional elegance with the warmth of a country retreat. Gorgeous Pecky Cypress exterior with additional natural wood features throughout the interior of the home. Four fireplaces, natural slate floors, coffered and beamed ceilings, rich wood accents, and extensive built-ins give the interiors a distinctive sense of place. Vaulted ceilings with skylights bring light from above, while a bow window and broad expanses of glass frame the surrounding trees. The spacious kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, double ovens, and a curved peninsula, with adjoining dining and gathering spaces suited to everything from quiet mornings to a house full of guests. Formal living and dining areas offer a graceful contrast to the rustic gathering room, and the four-season sunroom puts the wooded setting on full display. Upstairs, each of the three bedrooms features a window seat, built-in bookcases, and a walk-in closets. A laundry chute connects to the main-floor laundry room. Outside, mature trees and open lawn create room to garden, explore, and enjoy the changing seasons. A three-car attached garage and separate two-car garage provide extensive space for vehicles, equipment, and hobbies. The renovated chicken coop adds country charm, while a barn awaiting rehabilitation offers a project for the next steward. Rich in history and ready for a new chapter, this is a property with room to make your own mark.
