Fantastic home, built into a hillside and nestled in lush landscaping gives the feeling of an Italian Villa! The full beauty of the construction is better seen from the rear of the structure, where the driveway abuts an annual flower-covered pergola that shades the brick path leading to the side entrance. Here the door opens to a breathtaking large, bright kitchen! Natural pine bead board cabinets and light ceramic back splash meet the granite and Corian countertops. Tray ceiling along the room's periphery is where the angular walls meet a vaulted ceiling. A granite center island is also crafted with bead board and a grill right there on the island for super entertaining as guests gather around the heart of the kitchen. Wine cooler neatly located by the wet bar. A gas, waist level fireplace is built into the wall resembling a pizzeria brick oven. An office area in the kitchen, as well, looks out a large window to the beautiful grounds, The spacious dining room surrounded by wainscoting includes large windows rising up to a vaulted ceiling and a view of the added outdoor decking . The living room adds a traditional cottage look to the home. Built in shelving units occupy an entire wall creating a dramatic feel. French door to a deck from this room with a lighted pergola create a perfect outdoor dining or seating area with built-in TV . Master bedroom with attractive window shutters, walk in closet and an additional closet features an adjoining handsome master bath! The hallway to the secondary bedrooms has attractive wainscoting and skylights adding lots of natural sunlight throughout the area. The full hall bath with recessed lighting, skylights, jacuzzi tub, bead board, built-ins and handsome black granite countertop. A huge entertaining room in the lower level features wood beamed ceiling and a bar w/brass foot rails. Uniquely, the windows are set behind the bar adding natural sunlight and flanked on each side by shelving. Built-ins, and handsome white pillars add to the casual atmosphere of this fun family room. A brick wood burning fireplace with shelving and book cases creates a cozy ambiance to the room as well! On this level is the generous laundry room w/utility sink, recessed lighting, bead board and crisp white built-ins for convenient storage including built in ironing board. This level is also the location of the 4th bedroom and 3rd full bath. Perfect private accommodations for overnight guests. Because the home was built into the side of a hill, the triple patio door from the family room opens to an awning and network of decks dressed with flowering plants and urns of colorful annuals following the craggy terrain down to the end of the property. Wooden bridges are constructed over over two large ponds with relaxing water falls which is the only sound heard in the stillness of the back yard. Yet another feature, under a lighted pergola, is a raised fire pit with patio seating and a view of the attractive bird sanctuary! A huge heated shed is a convenient addition for various hobbies and/or storage. Additional storage in utility room and huge crawl space where the oil tank is also located. Water filtration system (water softener). Pella windows and doors throughout. One year Home Warranty offered by sellers. Built for fun, yet incredibly private and peaceful, this hillside haven, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home is truly a hidden Harford County gem! (Showings from 9 Am to 6 PM all days)
