This is not a home where upgrades were added afterward or selected from a builder's standard package. It is a custom-designed, Amish-framed Craftsman home where nearly every detail was carefully considered. Even the exterior tells you this home is different. The architectural rooflines, shake accents in the eaves, stone-wrapped foundation, Craftsman siding, covered front porch, and substantial roof overhangs give the home a depth and character that are difficult to reproduce. Behind the finishes are equally thoughtful construction details, including ZIP System exterior sheathing, vented soffits, a double-cap ridge vent, and gutter guards. The landscaping is beautifully maintained, and a newly constructed 100-foot Versa-Lok retaining wall includes integrated lighting. At the rear of the property, a custom 12-by-16-foot shed was built to match the home. The grassy area behind the home was also prepared for a future outdoor kitchen, with gas, water, and the necessary utility connections already in place. Inside, the great room immediately commands attention with 20-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace. Hand-scraped engineered hardwood flooring runs throughout the main living areas, while substantial Craftsman trim, detailed millwork, and wainscoting along the staircase give the interior a sense of permanence. The kitchen is a statement of its own. Custom KraftMaid cream shaker cabinetry includes glass-front accents, quartz countertops, and generous storage. GE brushed-stainless appliances, a gas cooktop, and an oversized island create a kitchen that is equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. Sliding doors connect the kitchen directly to the covered patio. The first-floor primary suite may be one of the most carefully planned spaces in the home. The bedroom includes a double illuminated tray ceiling, custom blinds, two closets with built-in cabinetry, and direct access to the covered patio. The primary bathroom is exceptionally spacious and does not feel builder-grade in any way. It includes a fully tiled walk-in shower, a claw-foot soaking tub, dual sinks, extensive custom cabinetry, and lighting fixtures that feel more like artwork. The amount of vanity space and storage is something rarely found, even in newer custom homes. The main level also includes a beautifully finished laundry room with custom cabinetry and a powder room with a barn-style door. An open-tread oak staircase with wrought-iron railing leads to the second floor, overlooking both the kitchen and great room. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large walk-in storage area. The garage deserves its own mention. Originally designed as a three-car garage, a finished 10-by-10-foot office with a window was added while still preserving an impressive, showroom-like garage space. The garage includes radiant heat, upgraded nine-foot insulated doors for larger vehicles, and the same level of cleanliness and attention found throughout the home. The systems behind the walls are just as impressive as the finishes you can see. The home includes individually zoned radiant heat throughout, with a backup forced-air system; a tankless gas water heater with a separate electric tankless backup; 200-amp electrical service plus an additional 100-amp service; arc-fault-protected breakers; individually run gas lines; double attic fans; pre-piping for radon mitigation; and whisper-quiet bathroom exhaust fans-and they truly are remarkably quiet. A four-zone LeGrand whole-home audio system, custom window treatments, and decorative glass closet knobs are among the many smaller details that continue to reveal themselves as you move through the home. Everything is in pristine condition. I tour a lot of homes, including custom construction, and this one is truly impressive.
