Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees and overlooking established pastures, this stunning two-story Greek Revival farmhouse, built with hand coated oversized bricks, captures the timeless beauty of the Southern countryside. Situated on over 17 acres (cut from larger tract) of pasture and woods with direct CETA trail access, this is an ideal equestrian setting! Unlock incredible potential with MU zoning—allowing many uses as well as subdividing! Dramatic 10-foot ceilings span the main level and is bathed in abundant natural light that perfectly accentuates twin sunroom wings. The main living area flows effortlessly into spacious rooms with classic architectural character and white oak hardwood floors. The eat-in kitchen blends unique charm with professional-grade function, showcasing standout brick flooring, classic maple cabinets, alongside a walk-in pantry and durable granite countertops. Highlighting the stainless steel appliances is a newly installed Forno Ancona Professional 6-burner gas and electric convection range. Framed by a reclaimed antique mantel, the fireplace and gas woodstove serve as the focal point of the sitting area located right off the kitchen. The primary suite boasts a wood burning fireplace with striking antique mantel, an en-suite bath equipped with a walk-in shower and soaking tub. Two additional upper-level bedrooms share a full bath. An office with 15-lite, glass panel door and a laundry closet complete the upper level. The daylight basement adds a family room with gas fireplace, a 4th bedroom/office, and a rough-in bath (unheated/not included in HLA). Relax on the expansive covered porches or deck with sweeping views of the pastures and tree canopy. Equestrian amenities include some older fencing, a run-in shelter and a shed perfect for equipment or hay storage, with some repairs.
