An extraordinary setting. Timeless craftsmanship. An exceptional place to call home! Nestled on 2.5 private acres with approximately 600 feet of frontage on picturesque Bear Creek, this exceptional custom-built Rockford home offers a level of craftsmanship, space and quality that would be difficult to replicate today. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished, it combines the privacy of a natural retreat with remarkable convenience—just minutes from downtown Rockford, Grand Rapids and major highways. Exceptional attention to detail is evident throughout, with solid white oak hardwood floors, custom site-finished cabinetry and built-ins, Andersen E-Series windows and beautiful views from every window. The generous living room features 10-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace surrounded by custom built-ins and stunning views of the backyard. It flows seamlessly into the spacious dining room and into the heart of the home—a beautifully designed kitchen made for gathering. An expansive island, quartz countertops and abundant workspace are complemented by custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and an additional utility pantry, creating a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. Just beyond the kitchen, the vaulted sunroom draws you toward the outdoors, with beautiful views of Bear Creek and direct access to the patio. It's a natural extension of the living space and the perfect place to relax while enjoying the peaceful sights and sounds of the creek and surrounding property. The main level continues with a spacious primary suite featuring dual walk-in closets, an additional home office/bedroom, a second full bathroom and convenient main-level laundry. A large mudroom provides exceptional everyday function with a built-in message center, lockers, bench and closet. Offering more than 2,000 square feet of finished living space, the daylight lower level is exceptional in its own right. Oversized windows capture beautiful views of the property and fill the space with natural light. Three generous bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a wet bar and dining area provide incredible flexibility for family and guests, while the expansive rec/family room features a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins and surround sound. A second laundry area, abundant storage and stairs leading directly to the garage add even more function and convenience. Outdoor living is equally special, with composite decking, expansive grounds, mature surroundings and plenty of space to enjoy the beauty and privacy of this remarkable setting. A storage shed provides additional functionality, while the creek, acreage and natural landscape create the feeling of a private retreat—all with NO HOA. Additional features include an ERV system, reverse osmosis system, floor heaters in bathrooms, a 2022 water heater, garage floor drains, Ring doorbell & exterior cameras, filtered hot and cold water in the garage, a walk-up attic offering substantial storage and an invisible pet fence.
