About This Home

Some homes are built. This one was lived into existence. What began as a small cabin for a young musician, built far enough from his father's house that his honky-tonk band wouldn't disturb the neighbors, was gradually transformed by hand into the stone home standing today after the Depression, using stone quarried on-site. The original owner's masonry skills are evident throughout: hand-laid exterior stonework, intricate plaster ceilings, detailed trim, and slate baseboards that run through much of the home. The home is situated on 6 wooded acres adjacent to state forest land with access to ATV trails, horse trails, and hunting, this one-of-a-kind property features a spring-fed stocked pond with fountain and gazebo, treehouse, outbuilding with electric, and a circular canopy-lined gravel drive delivering extraordinary privacy. Inside, 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths spread across multiple levels, each room carrying its own personality. The main level offers hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, arched doorways, and alcoves throughout; a spacious formal dining room; a main-floor office or bedroom; and a refreshed kitchen with new countertops, sink, and painted cabinetry. The eat-in area of the kitchen overlooks a backyard pond view. The primary suite is a showstopper: exposed dark beams, intricate plaster ceiling work, a wood stove, French doors to a private deck, and an ensuite with a 2-person jetted tub. Bedrooms are anything but ordinary; one features a full waterfall mural with a lofted bunk area; another its own lofted area; a third hides its entrance behind a built-in bookshelf. The former 2-car garage was finished into a bonus room and could be converted back. One-year home warranty included for peace of mind.
