About This Home

Coming soon: A spacious, bright house ideally situated on a beautiful 3-acre lot on a quiet, tree lined, cul-de-sac road. This 3-level house was redesigned and expanded in 2006 with permits to offer accessibility, exceptional flexibility, space, and privacy. All living situations are easily accommodated including multigenerational families, work-at-home offices, long-term visits, and supplemental rental income. The house is accessible with no step entrances, wide halls and doorways and accessible bathrooms. There is a purpose built, 700 sq ft. apartment with sweeping views of the back yard on the lower level. The above ground apartment has a private, porch covered entrance and parking. Sleeping, work, and play space can be allocated to meet a family’s needs with 3 en-suite rooms (one on each level) and 3 additional rooms with closets that may serve either as bedrooms, offices, craft rooms, or whatever is needed. There are 4 full baths, 2 half baths, and 2 laundry areas. Enter the main level through a welcoming foyer which leads to a large, bright kitchen where everyone gathers. French doors lead to a peaceful 3 season room and deck. All of this has views of the beautiful backyard, trees, and sky beyond. A formal dining room flows from the kitchen into the living room. Pocket doors allow the dining room and living room to be open to the rest of the house or closed off for privacy and solitude. Behind the kitchen, a hall with 2 pantry closets leads to a large, en-suite room with more great views and a wall of closets. Just off this hall is a mud room with laundry hook ups and access to the oversized garage. Just off the foyer and 2 steps down is a level with a family room with a fireplace and sliders to the deck. This level also has a convenient half bath, and one of the rooms with a closet that the current owner uses as a work-at-home office. The upper level has yet another en-suite bedroom with a walk-in closet, two more secondary rooms, a full family bathroom, and tons of linen closets. The lower level includes a rec room that leads to the apartment, a half bath, laundry room, and a storage room. The apartment is a light filled, private space with a generous living and dining room, a full kitchen, and a large en-suite bedroom with a wall of closets. The apartment has its own HVAC system. The entire lower level can be designated for the apartment so that it has its own office/den, one and a half bathrooms, and laundry room. Outside is spectacular with trees ringing the backyard. There is a custom-built storage shed/shop with electricity and dual garage doors to accommodate your outdoor toys, tools, and lawn equipment. The attached oversized, two car garage is served by an expansive circular driveway that can accommodate a lot of cars. The house is energy efficient with a 16.225 kw solar panel system (owner owned) installed in 2017, dual paned windows, and R-60 insulation in the attics. Additional upgrades include 400-amp electrical service, dual HVAC for the main house, a propane generator for peace of mind, a 1,000 gal buried propane tank (owner owned), and a large heat pump hot water heater. There are three Cat 5, ethernet connections in the house. Both kitchens have gas cooktops. All of this is conveniently located just minutes from shopping, dining, health care, library, senior center, parks, hiking trails, and major commuter routes in the historic town of Mount Airy. This area offers great schools and the perfect blend of rural tranquility and everyday convenience. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful home in a peaceful setting, that is versatile to adapt to your lifestyle. Please note that while the home has 6 flexible rooms with closets that can serve a variety of purposes, the septic is rated for four bedrooms.
