About This Home
One owner built it. One owner lived in it. That kind of care shows up in the bones. Set back from the road on more than two private acres in Jackson Knolls, this 1979 contemporary ranch sits quietly among the trees. The layout was designed, not assembled. You enter on a single level and the house opens up from there: two bedrooms, two full baths, living room, formal dining room, a separate family room, eat-in kitchen, and main floor laundry. The living room stops people: floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows, soaring ceilings, and a two-sided gas fireplace that sits at the heart of the floor plan, drawing the living and family rooms into each other's orbit. A sculptural spiral staircase rises to a generously sized loft, perfectly suited as a third bedroom, private guest suite, or home office with real presence. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bath. The second bedroom has its own full bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, plus private sliding glass door access to the deck, creating a natural guest wing. An attached two-car garage completes the level. Every room connects to the landscape outside it. The house is well maintained where it counts. Recent seller investments: heat pump and furnace serviced, well system upgraded with pressure booster, plumbing inspected, fresh interior paint throughout. Outside, the property earns its acreage. Tiered decks, a covered pergola, three gas fire pits, and a built-in pizza oven are already in place. So are the perennial gardens, the creek views, the open meadow, and three outbuildings with storage, workshop, or studio potential. This is a property with a vision already embedded in it. The right buyer will want to carry it forward. The cosmetics are yours to define. The bones, the land, and the architecture are already here. Photos include virtual staging and digitally rendered flooring to illustrate the home's design potential. Current finishes are original.
