A striking blend of modern design and timeless barn-inspired architecture, this exceptional 4,250 SF home sits privately on 12.77 acres and offers a rare sense of space, light, and tranquility.

A dramatic two-story foyer sets the tone, showcasing a split staircase with sleek stainless-steel cabling and an open balcony above. The main level is defined by soaring 9-foot ceilings, reclaimed wood beams, wide-plank white oak floors, and expansive windows and doors that invite natural light into every corner. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the great room to a chef’s kitchen outfitted with premium stainless-steel appliances, a waterfall island, and a bright breakfast area.

Upstairs, the second level continues to impress with a well-balanced layout. Bedroom #2 enjoys an ensuite bath, while bedrooms #3 and #4 share a full hall bath. A versatile workspace or recreation area with custom cabinetry adds further flexibility, complemented by a dedicated laundry room, storage room, and a charming cupola that draws in sunlight from all directions. The walk-out basement features 10-foot ceilings with both finished and unfinished space.
