About This Home

Nestled on 5 breathtaking private acres just off desirable Aiken Road, this extraordinary custom home offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and modern convenience, just minutes from Middletown, Crestwood, the Gene Snyder, parks, family activities, and the new Publix and all the Old Henry Road exit amenities. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully engineered, this one-of-a-kind property showcases exceptional craftsmanship, countless upgrades, and features rarely found in today's market. Originally built by a fire chief, safety and preparedness were at the forefront of the home's design. The residence incorporates multiple easily accessible exit routes on every level and is equipped with a heat-activated fire sprinkler system throughout the home, screened porch, and garage. This premium safety feature not only provides incredible peace of mind but also reduces homeowner's insurance costs by approximately 30% annually. A manual electrical transfer switch allows a portable generator (not supplied) to power key areas of the home during outages, while a 4,000-gallon cistern supplies exterior water and can be set to capture rainwater or automatically fill with city water for irrigation. Inside, you'll immediately appreciate the grand foyer, soaring ceilings, and stunning floor-to-ceiling creek stone fireplace anchoring the spacious living room. Rich hardwood flooring flows throughout the main living areas, complemented by custom cabinetry, a kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated lighting, and beautiful solid wood interior doors. A central vacuum system adds everyday convenience. The luxurious first-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring heated tile floors, a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bath with a large walk-in shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and oversized walk-in closets. Every bathroom and the laundry room have been professionally remodeled with quality finishes. The finished lower level was designed for entertaining and everyday living, complete with custom cabinetry, a wet bar, recreation area, entertainment space, office or guest bedroom, abundant custom storage, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and sound-reduction insulation between floors for enhanced comfort. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room with utility sink, oversized 2½-car garage with direct stair access to the lower level, generous storage throughout the home, and a screened porch overlooking the incredibly private backyard. Outside, the property is equally impressive. Extensive professional landscaping surrounds the home, while a large open yard transitions into a peaceful wooded area perfect for children to explore, outdoor recreation, or simply enjoying nature. A shallow creek borders the northern property line, attracting abundant wildlife and creating a truly serene setting. The impressive 30' x 40' pole barn/workshop offers endless possibilities for hobbies, equipment storage, indoor sports, or recreational vehicles. Featuring an insulated roofline and 220-volt electrical service, it's ready for nearly any project. A professionally engineered asphalt driveway, built to accommodate frequent heavy truck traffic, includes multiple underground conduits for future water or electrical expansion, just another example of the incredible foresight invested in this property.
