Down a long and winding driveway and nestled amongst towering oaks, you'll discover this chic 1930s transplanted cottage. In 1995, this generational home, owned by the previous owner's grandfather, was painstakingly moved to this idyllic location. Much effort to retain the original historical look was put forth, while simultaneously giving it modern conveniences along the way. A new foundation became the base, new wiring and plumbing throughout, as well as a new roof were added. The wood siding on the two gable sides is original to the home. The home has incredible Redwood floors throughout. As you enter the home, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light seeping through the array of windows. The large, open formal living area is perfect for greeting your guests. Through the charming French doors is a flex-space, ideal for an office, or 4th bedroom, if you desire. The country kitchen boasts a sizable, original farmhouse sink along with all the everyday necessities, and is conveniently connected to the dining room. There are two bedrooms on the main level, one of which was converted to a huge laundry room with a wall of built-ins for storage. This could easily be reversed to a bedroom, depending on your needs. Escape upstairs to your private owner's suite including a bathroom and large open flex space, great for an office or secondary living room. A rocking chair front porch adorns the face of the home, but the crown jewel will likely be your expansive rear screened porch. Usable most of the year, you'll be able to enjoy all kinds of gatherings outside, in the shade, out of the rain, and not to mention, being free from mosquitos. Best of ALL...You'll enjoy the peaceful serenity of over 16.5 ac of tranquil, lush, thick greenery coupled with hardwoods galore. The walking trail is a must-see to truly experience this sanctuary, as it borders the entire perimeter of the property. You probably won't see Bigfoot this close to town, but the deer, wild turkey and other wildlife will most assuredly be regular trespassers. Additionally you have an excellent garden spot or two along with a massive pole barn, perfect for equipment, a motorhome or a hoedown with 200 friends - you name it.
