Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2½-bath stone ranch offering convenient one-floor living on 8.49 picturesque acres, where panoramic countryside and mountain views, unforgettable sunsets, and endless possibilities create a place you'll be proud to call home. Picture yourself gathering family and friends around the table after preparing your favorite meal in the spacious country kitchen, while the impressive floor-to-ceiling double-sided stone fireplace fills both the kitchen and living room with warmth and character. Abundant cabinetry, generous workspace, and a spacious dining area make everyday living and entertaining equally enjoyable. Hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout the home, while a versatile bonus room offers the flexibility to become a home office, formal dining room, craft room, library, playroom, or whatever best suits your lifestyle. The primary bedroom is complemented by a convenient half bath, while two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests. A second full bath with a walk-in shower and laundry area is conveniently located just off the kitchen. Vintage enthusiasts will appreciate the beautifully preserved pink tile bath, offering a nostalgic nod to another era while showcasing craftsmanship that's becoming increasingly rare to find. Two beautiful stone sunrooms, each featuring walls of windows that flood the spaces with natural light, extend your living space and invite the outdoors in. The welcoming front sunroom creates a bright transition into the home through sliding glass doors, while the rear sunroom opens through elegant double glass doors to a concrete patio, providing the perfect place to relax, entertain, and take in the panoramic countryside and mountain views, unforgettable sunsets, and the peaceful beauty that surrounds you. The finished lower level expands your living space with another stone fireplace, a wet bar, an additional half bath and flexible space ideal for entertaining, recreation, hobbies, or a home gym. Beyond the finished living area, you'll find direct access to the oversized garage beneath the home, along with a utility room and generous storage space. Outside, the opportunities continue with an oversized 4 car detached garage, two storage sheds, and an additional outbuilding offering endless possibilities as a picnic pavilion, potting shed, workshop, garden retreat, hobby space, or additional storage. An automatic whole-house Generac generator provides added peace of mind, helping keep the home powered during unexpected outages. Pet owners will appreciate the convenient doggy door leading to a nicely fenced dog run, providing a secure outdoor space for four-legged family members to safely enjoy the outdoors. Nature lovers and gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the established orchard and berry plantings, including apple, peach, and nut trees, along with grapes, blueberries, goji berries, elderberries, and wineberries. A thoughtfully designed pollinator garden, together with flowering plants throughout the property, welcomes butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, songbirds, and other wildlife, creating a beautiful natural setting throughout the seasons. Whether you've dreamed of raising horses, cattle, goats, pigs, or chickens—or simply want room to roam and enjoy the peace and freedom of country living—this property's zoning provides the opportunity to make that dream a reality. Imagine ending your day beneath the shade of mature trees or relaxing in an Adirondack chair as the sun slips behind the mountains, painting the sky with unforgettable sunsets.
