Hackberry wood floors, panoramic pond views, and a brilliantly divided bedroom layout set the tone for this exceptional multi-level home, where craftsmanship meets comfort and nature frames every window. Since purchasing the property 13 years ago, the current owner has completed the following improvements and upgrades: Installed new flooring, renovated the ensuite bathroom, including new flooring, new shower and double-sink vanity, appliances, added two new bedrooms with closets: one bedroom in the loft area, one bedroom in the lower level, added a sauna, added a half bathroom on the main level, installed a utility sink in the laundry room. All are functional upgrades and additional living space that have enhanced the property's value and usability. Step inside and feel the warmth of the double-sided gas fireplace, shared between the vaulted ceiling living room and the main level primary suite. Step outside, from here, and get morning rejuvenation or evening relaxation. The ensuite delivers a spa level experience with a stone tiled walk-in shower, rainwater shower head, double bowl sinks, and a windowed walk-in closet that feels like a private dressing room. Next to the living room is a Half Bath and your day guests will be impressed by the style. Up the Pine open stairs, the loft opens to sweeping views of the pond—fed by Gilbert Creek’s rain reservoir—where wildlife regularly puts on a show. A front balcony, large walk in closet, and flexible bedroom/hobby space make this upper level a true retreat, very private. The loft room currently is an office area and additional sleeping room. The lower level, via the Red Oak anti-slip stairs, adds even more lifestyle value with a walk out bedroom featuring stone pavers, a barn door closet, a full bath, and a true steam sauna where you can toss water onto hot stones for authentic steam therapy. A workshop plumbed for a sink and a cold storage room, perfect for canned goods and treats, add practical convenience. The lower-level living room has two installed Murphy beds (use while down and put back in line with wall when not in use) and walk-out for nature breaks. The kitchen is built for serious cooking: stainless steel appliances, kitchen ledge window, island, Jenn Air convection oven, and double wall oven. The dining area is wrapped in windows, pulling in natural light and views. Outside, the property becomes a destination. A massive backyard deck hosts large gatherings with ease, surrounded by cherry and Honeycrisp apple trees, perennial gardens, tiered beds, and a swing deck overlooking the pond—where you might catch an otter at play. The in-ground sprinkler system keeps the grounds lush and vibrant. A spacious foyer connects the front porch, back deck, and the three stall garage. There is a gas line ready for future hook-up for heating. This home is more than a place to live—it’s a place to create, host, and enjoy the beauty of nature from every level.
