Rare opportunity to own a quality Brian Miller-built custom ranch in the wonderful, coveted Manors of Deerwood! Sited high on a wooded ridge near the rear of the subdivision, this 3-bedroom gem is an entertainer's dream and a private oasis. This sprawling yet cozy home offers 4100+ finished square feet of living space, which has been lovingly maintained by its original owner. The entry level features a spacious foyer with 11' ceiling that opens to a living room with curved windows and a formal dining room. Just steps around the corner is a cook's kitchen made for entertaining, with warm cherry cabinets, yards of granite surface and a gathering area just perfect for conversation and laughter with family or friends. The view from the breakfast nook beckons you to step through the slider and onto the deck to revel in the quiet and privacy of the gorgeous treed backyard. Mature perennials and the sounds of birds and wind in the trees....Such a relaxing place to recharge and renew! All three bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home, away from the bustle of daily activities. The primary suite features a private balcony, a 9' x 8' walk-in closet and ensuite bath with double sinks, soaking tub and private water closet. A versatile 12' x 12' room within the suite is perfect to use as a nursery, home office, or private library. Two other spacious bedrooms share a full hall bath. The first-floor laundry room ensures all your living can be done on one level! The finished walkout lower level offers endless options for add'l living, indoors and out. A windowed 12' x 10' niche is perfect for a home office; the unfinished portion offers tons of storage and is stubbed for an add'l bath. For peace-of-mind there's the Kohler whole-house generator (2020), and newer furnace, A/C, hot water heater, water softener. See list of features & updates.
