Privacy and convenience - this gorgeous home provides the best of both worlds, in sought-after HIllcrest Estates. You will be wowed from the moment you turn in the driveway - bordered by blooming shrubs and mature landscaping. The Dutch Colonial style home has semi-circular front steps, and a charming trellis covered in climbing hydrangea plants surrounds the front door. Inside, you are greeted by some of the prettiest hardwood floors anywhere! The hardwoods flow throughout the main and upper levels, and have offset borders of contrasting mahogany wood in the formal living and dining rooms. The living room, on the front of the house, has three large windows, dental crown molding, and a barn door separating it from the dining room. The dining room has two built-in corner cabinets for lots of storage, and a triple windows looking out to the wooded back yard. Another barn door separates the dining room from the kitchen. The kitchen has smoked stainless appliances, butcher block counters, and a stone and glass tile backsplash. There are plenty of cabinets, including a pantry cabinet with pull-outs, and a breakfast bar that can serve up a crowd! The kitchen is open to the casual dining area, with plenty of room for a large table, and steps down to the family room. The focal point of this part of the home is the rustic brick hearth, with a wood stove, perfect for warming chilly evenings and creating a welcoming ambiance. This level also has a convenient half bath and separate laundry room. Best of all is the huge screen porch, with vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and durable mahogany flooring. This is the ideal spot for entertaining, or peaceful evenings with your favorite beverage, listening to the crickets chirp! Off the screen porch is an open, sunny deck on one side, and on the other side, a private sunken hot tub deck--you will feel like you're at a fancy boutique hotel! Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom, on the front of the home, has a vaulted ceiling and two large closets, plus an ensuite bath. The primary bath has double vanities, a combination tub/shower, and updated wood-look ceramic tile flooring. Bedroom 2 is on the back of the home, and has a vaulted ceiling. Bedroom 3 is cozy, looking out onto the wooded back yard, and has a double closet. Step down into huge bedroom 4 (which would make a perfect second primary bedroom), with vaulted ceiling and two closets, and nature views of the back yard. The hall bath has updated wood-look ceramic tile flooring and a tub/shower. All bedrooms have beautiful hardwood floors and ceiling fans. If you love a laundry chute, you're in luck because there is a laundry chute near the hall bath which deposits laundry directly into the main floor laundry room! The lower level is waiting for your personal touches and the possibilities are endless: playroom, man cave, crafting space, or home gym - whatever you need, the space is there for you. The unfinished workshop area provides additional storage and a utility sink. There is walk-up access to the side and back yards. Outside, besides the two-car garage with pull-down storage attic access, there is parking for 4 additional cars, WITHOUT blocking the driveway! Imagine the convenience of being able to park 6 vehicles and still have full driveway access. The 1+acre lot is private, lushly planted and fenced in the rear. It backs to deep woods, and the views out the back (and of the deep front yard) are lovely every season of the year. The meticulous owners have made many improvements over the years and the home is clean, move-in ready, and waiting for new owners to make it their own. No HOA!!!Hurry - this one-of-a-kind home won't wait!
