Welcome to your own PRIVATE NATURE RETREAT! This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath rancher offers a unique combination of custom upgrades, flexible living space, and a peaceful setting for a nature lover's delight. Set back from the road and tucked behind a lush landscape, this home is affectionately known by the owner as Bird Paradise. A variety of beautiful birds make their home among the property's thoughtfully planted trees and shrubs, including two evergreen berry trees, four dogwoods, two additional berry trees, several stunning red Japanese maples, and other colorful seasonal plantings. You'll enjoy this secluded, park-like setting that provides exceptional privacy and a tranquil atmosphere year-round. Inside, you'll be welcomed by high vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light from multiple skylights, and a blend of rich hardwood and tile flooring throughout. The heart of the home is the impressive chef's kitchen, featuring granite countertops, a massive two-level granite island with seating, a commercial-grade six-burner gas cooktop with griddle, stainless steel appliances, raised maple cabinetry with glazing and pull-out shelving, a convenient wet bar, and a separate coffee bar, perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The spacious living room offers tile flooring, a bay window, recessed lighting, and a large open archway leading directly into the kitchen. Step down into the inviting family room featuring a beautiful full stone wall and double-sided fireplace that creates warmth and character throughout the space. A private bedroom suite located off the family room makes an ideal in-law suite, guest quarters, or home office, complete with a full bath, walk-in closet, the other side of that double-sided fireplace, and its own private entrance. On the opposite side of the home, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with a beautifully updated walk-in closet featuring recessed lighting and a barn door, a private full bath, and direct access to the rear deck. The third bedroom offers a charming loft area perfect for a reading nook, play space, or cozy hangout. Additional features include a third full bathroom conveniently located near the kitchen and an easily-accessible laundry room with granite folding counter, maple cabinetry, pantry storage, and access to the home's mechanical systems. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Sliding glass doors from the kitchen lead to a spacious Trex deck and gazebo complete with recessed lighting and electric service. Surrounded by tall natural bamboo, this outdoor oasis creates a unique and serene rainforest-like ambiance. Adding even more versatility is the finished detached one-car garage featuring luxury vinyl plank flooring, an electric overhead door, and a dedicated storage closet. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the 50-amp RV hookup and greenhouse situated on its own concrete slab. The home's attractive exterior features cedar shake-style vinyl siding and a welcoming concrete front porch accented by four large columns, creating exceptional curb appeal. If you've been searching for a home that blends comfort, privacy, flexible living spaces, and a genuine connection to nature, this one-of-a-kind property is a must-see.
