Your dream home awaits!! Craftsman bones, a custom remodel, and a horse barn out back: acreage living with refined character. Every inch of this home was designed by the sellers who were contractors with love over the years. Inside, coffered ceilings meet warm cedar and wood-plank ceilings, giving every room a crafted, finished feel, and Brazilian cherry hardwoods run underfoot toward a stone gas-log fireplace that anchors the living space. Floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights flood the home with light, while custom barn doors and Restoration Hardware fixtures make even the transitions between rooms feel intentional. The kitchen is built to gather around. An oversized honed granite island with a built-in microwave takes center stage, backed by custom cabinetry, an etched tile backsplash, a built-in pantry, newer appliances, and purified water at the sink. Next door, color-changing upper lighting lets the dining room shift from weeknight dinner to late-night celebration at the flip of a switch. The first-floor and second story primary suite comes with its own bath, the bathrooms have been updated throughout, and a sun room, bar and mudroom with drop zone give the layout room to breathe. Then step outside, where the property really shows off. A 40,000-gallon saltwater pool, 8 feet deep with a diving board and fountain, sits beside a koi pond and gazebo linked by brick walkways. Made for a party or a wedding. Beyond it, a fenced acre of pasture leads to a barn with two stalls, a wash stall, a brick-paved breezeway, tack room, and horses are allowed. Wrapped in Hardie plank and stone, heated and cooled by geothermal, and tucked into a wooded setting of nearly five acres neighboring Greenbrier Farms in the Hickory school zone. Morning coffee in the sun room, afternoons at the barn, evenings by the pool: this home makes every part of the day worth staying for. And let's talk privacy.
