If you've ever dreamed about having a little more elbow room, your own pond, plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and a home that can handle everything from quiet Saturday mornings to a house full of friends and family, you might want to see this one. Set on just over 5 acres in the Fenton Farms subdivision, this nearly 5,000-square-foot home has the kind of space that makes you wonder where you've been putting all your stuff. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, multiple living areas, and a finished lower level, there’s room for the kids, the guests, the hobbies, the home office, the workout equipment…and all of the stuff you've been saying you'll organize someday. The heart of the home is the kitchen, where everyone always ends up eventually. A big center island, loads of cabinetry, breakfast area, and an adjoining family room with a wood-burning fireplace make this the perfect spot for morning coffee, holiday chaos, or just having a few people over. The main-level primary suite gives you a little escape from all that activity, with a sitting area, walk-in closet, and a spacious bath featuring dual sinks, soaking tub, and tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath, and the main-level laundry keeps life a little more civilized. Then there's upstairs. The bonus room is open to possibilities. 5th bedroom? Game room? Home office? Hobby headquarters? With it’s own HVAC, it can be whatever your family needs at the time and change down the road without impacting the rest of the home. And just when you think you've run out of house, head downstairs. The finished lower level brings even more living and entertaining space, additional bedroom, exercise room, storage, and a safe-room area. Outside you’ve got room to roam or get those chickens you’ve always wanted on the 5+ acres with a private 0.92-acre pond. Start imagining yourself sitting outside with a cup of coffee, watching the sunrise over the water, while the rest of the world feels just a little farther away. There's also an oversized two-car garage, equipment shed, geothermal heating and cooling, and plenty of practical features that make living here as easy as it is enjoyable. Need even more space? The adjacent 2.16 acre lot is also available for purchase.
