Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully cared for, and filled with warmth and character, that feeling carries from the charming curb appeal throughout this spacious home and right out to the wonderfully manicured backyard.

Soaring wood-planked vaulted ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, walls of windows overlooking the backyard, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create a space that feels a little “up north,” while still being perfect for everyday living. It’s spacious enough for everyone to gather, yet somehow still feels cozy. Step outside onto the huge paver patio and you can just picture life happening here—morning coffee, summer nights grilling, entertaining friends, and laughter and conversation that linger into the evening, all surrounded by a beautifully cared-for backyard. And the main floor just keeps going!

WARNING: MAY CAUSE UNCONTROLLABLE HAPPINESS. Maybe it’s waking up to an east-facing backyard where acres of parkland stretch beyond the fence, with rolling farmland in the distance. Maybe it’s starting the day fireside, coffee in hand, as the sun comes up over the pond and winding paths. Or maybe it’s simply realizing this is your view every single day. This is country-in-the-city living. And somehow, that view is only the beginning. This sprawling ranch offers nearly 3,500 square feet — but it’s the quality that makes you stop and stare. This home has substance. Luxurious oak floors. Stunning woodwork. Custom millwork and built-ins. Craftsmanship you can see and feel. Nothing here is flimsy, fleeting or builder-basic. And there’s a reason: a master woodworker once called this home his own, and he put his considerable talent to work here, creating custom cabinetry, millwork and built-ins that elevated the home far beyond the ordinary. The main level is open, bright and beautifully connected. Oversized windows continually pull your eye outside to that spectacular backyard. And then there’s the kitchen. Oh, this kitchen. The kind of room that stops you mid-step. Anchored by a substantial center island, it features furniture-quality custom Red Elm cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and warm oak floors. Spanning an entire wall is the crown jewel of the kitchen: an extraordinary custom built-in featuring glass-front display cabinets, illuminated niches, expansive granite surfaces, and an integrated workspace. Here, storage isn't tucked away — it’s built right into the architecture. It’s visually striking, wildly functional, and the kind of woodworking you simply can’t pull off a shelf. The adjoining dining area sits exactly where it should — between the kitchen and the view — with large windows and easy access outside. Just off the kitchen, even the laundry room refuses to be ordinary. This oversized laundry/mudroom is fitted with extensive Poplar cabinetry, abundant counter space, a utility sink, storage galore and its own exterior entrance. There’s room to fold, organize, drop the bags and contain the everyday clutter before it ever reaches the rest of the house. The lower-level family room is enormous. Movie nights, game tables, home gym equipment, office space, creative hobbies, guests — you can give every activity its own area and still have room left over. The bedrooms are genuinely large. Think breathing room — space for substantial furniture, dressers, reading chairs and all the pieces that make a bedroom actually function. The primary suite is particularly generous, with windows on two sides bringing in abundant natural light and a private bath completing the retreat. The backyard is fully fenced, yet the black fencing nearly disappears into the landscape, allowing the view to roll right into the park beyond. There’s room to play, garden or simply enjoy the outdoors, plus a barn-style garden shed that brings serious utility and a little personality to the yard. The generous proportions carry right into the garage: three huge stalls, insulation, heat, shelving and overhead-door storage. Park, putter, store and spread out — there’s room for all of it. An HVAC system inspected every six months reflects the kind of ongoing care that matters long after the beautiful finishes first catch your eye. Fresh, polished and beautifully maintained, this home brings serious new-construction energy — but with the kind of bespoke detail you’d spend a fortune trying to recreate today. And the view? Pinch yourself. This might be heaven.
