About this home

FIVE ACRES of PRIVACY just TWO MILES from the CENTER OF TOWN--do not miss this quality-constructed jewel of a home! Built by highly respected contractor Foy Brackett, no detail was overlooked. Thick moldings, built-in features, gorgeous hardwoods, and high-end materials define this single-owner home that has been lovingly maintained since construction. A circle drive provides an inviting entrance to the beautiful brick exterior featuring a welcoming front porch and overflowing window boxes. Enter into a vaulted-ceiling foyer/central hall that connects the living areas and enables great flow! This is a great entertaining home with the convenience of a centrally located half bath in the main hall! Beautiful, oversized windows, French doors, and transom doorways throughout the interior provide tons of natural light. The bright and airy living room has a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and detailed millwork. The lovely formal dining room has built-in corner cabinets with chair rail and custom wainscoting detail. The spacious kitchen and breakfast area are truly the heart of the home and connect to the vaulted ceiling sun room with gorgeous fireplace focal point. Notice the reclaimed pine beams, taken from the seller's family barn built in early 1800s, and the historic pine mantle--an antique from the old Inverness Hotel in Lincolnton. Another highlight is the screened porch off of the family room which is truly an additional living space! Permanently installed vent hood makes grilling easy and stress free! Primary bedroom is on main floor with two walk in closets, en-suite bath with dual vanities and separate bath/shower/water closet space. Additional door leads directly to the utility room for added convenience! Utility room has built-in desk, wet bar, and large laundry closet. This is a great butler's pantry while entertaining! DO NOT MISS the door that leads to the walk-up attic space. Sellers have used this for convenient storage, BUT it could be finished to provide additional bedrooms/bathrooms/living space! Downstairs, you will find an additional rec room/office with fireplace, 2 large bedrooms, and an additional full bath. For added convenience, there is an additional SINK behind bifold doors in one of the bedrooms! There is great storage in multiple closets downstairs w/ a great drop zone coming in from the garage. An unfinished space in the basement is where you will find most of the mechanical components, and it is a spacious workshop, too! There is a garage, carport, and extensive driveway for plenty of parking, playing, or space for projects. Established landscaping provides an idyllic setting. An additional lot could be carved off as a building lot! Do not miss this beautiful cottage in the privacy of your own woods! Peaceful (and convenient!) living at its FINEST! Call today!
