Property Description

At the heart of this extraordinary custom home stands a spectacular, natural WHITE PINE TREE TRUNK rising through the living space, a jaw dropping focal point that perfectly captures the imagination and craftsmanship behind this one of a kind home. From the dramatic vaulted steel ceilings and exposed barn beams to the rich wood finishes, stone accents, and private pond setting, every detail tells a story. This is not a cookie-cutter home; it's a creative masterpiece for buyers who appreciate the unexpected! The open floor plan captures beautiful views from every angle and blends rustic character with inviting comfort. The kitchen is a work of art, featuring hickory cabinetry, raw-edge leathered granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a custom built-in table crafted from flooring salvaged from Chelsea's original hardware store. The adjoining family room invites you to unwind by the gas fireplace, while the covered porch overlooking the pond is the perfect spot for morning coffee, entertaining, or a peaceful evening outdoors. The primary suite showcases a custom built in lighted headboard, and double closets, flowing into a bath with double sinks and a tiled walk-in shower. The second bedroom, currently used as an office, includes a closet and direct access to the shop. The laundry nook features a stackable washer and dryer and sink, with the hallway designed to accommodate a pocket door for added privacy. Even the second full bath makes a statement with its unique bourbon whiskey barrel cabinet, yoke mirror, and tiled shower. And then there's the incredible 56' x 80' attached garage/barn! With 18-foot walls, an 18-foot-high overhead door, and room for 18 or more vehicles, this space is a dream come true for car enthusiasts, mechanics, hobbyists, or anyone needing exceptional storage. Features include a car lift, RV hookup, air compressor, durable 6 inch concrete floor, and loft storage. There's room for your motorhome, vehicles, equipment, recreational toys, and more. The creativity continues outdoors with a detached 12' x 30' shed currently used as a craft room, offering endless possibilities as a studio, workshop, hobby space, or playhouse. Additional rear storage with a 7.5-foot overhead door and a shipping container creatively built into the hillside provide even more functional space and potential for something truly unique. The private grounds are just as impressive, featuring a 14-foot-deep pond with fountain, beautiful perennial gardens, and stone retaining walls that complement the natural setting. From the imaginative architectural details to the extraordinary workspace and peaceful surroundings, this is far more than a home. it's a one of a kind property designed for living, creating, collecting, and enjoying life in your own unique way!
