a one-of-a-kind home - lovingly designed and constructed
Have you been searching for a one-of-a-kind home in which a custom Builder has lovingly designed and constructed for his/her own family? Living in a neighborhood while having a more private 'Up North' vibe? Someone else taking the time to meticulously plan out every detail of your new home to perfection while sparing no expense? Well, wait no longer! From the moment you enter the circular driveway you are greeted with the timeless stucco and limestone exterior, meticulously maintained landscape to include manicured trees and shrubs, flower beds and hand built trellis, and a stunning tile walkway leading to the large enclosed limestone front porch with custom rod iron railing and gorgeous solid wood front door. The interior is bright with a well thought out open floor plan with high end finishings everywhere you turn--Chelsea plank flooring, travertine tile, custom rod iron railing, solid hard wood doors throughout, and hand made tile and mosaic artwork masterpieces. Home design features include the front study (also designed as a 5th bedroom) with cherry bookshelves with library ladder and large closet, front dining room with wainscoting and grand pillars, the great room with cathedral ceilings, incredible wood burning fireplace with hand carved marble surround and cherry built in shelving. True Chef's kitchen with massive center island with beverage refrigerator and microwave, custom cherry cabinetry with well matched granite countertops, top of the line stainless steel appliances, large capacity refrigerator with French doors, gas range with custom hood vent over the mosaic tile centerpiece, and doors leading out the raised tile balcony/patio (made of concrete and steel) overlooking the best views in the neighborhood--mature trees and Ella Lee Lake and her waterfall! Other main floor features include a walk-in pantry like none other, half bathroom, side door leading out, and TWO stairways leading to the lower level. The upstairs Primary bedroom suite will not disappoint--it is spacious with Chelsea plank flooring, has a sitting area with picturesque views of the backyard, and opens to the spa inspired bathroom (can easily install a privacy wall) with corner whirlpool tub with the water stream coming down from the CEILING!, full tiled shower to include a custom bench, alcoves, tiled ceiling with Rain shower head, dual side shower heads, stunning mosaic accent piece, and a glass Euro door. You will also love the vanity table, and huge walk in closet with custom shelving and storage, and a door leading to unfinished storage space--a future dressing room? craft room? private office? The second floor also showcases a large laundry room with cabinetry and a folding station, a Prince/Princess suite with private bath and large walk-in closet, the 3rd bedroom sits across from another full bathroom, and an open bride/walkway with gorgeous, custom rod iron railing overlooking both the great room and the front foyer. The finished lower level has the same high standard of finishings as the rest of the house to include the front and back entrance, wood style tile flooring, a media room with tray ceilings and multiple egress windows, workout room with 2 walls of windows and sauna, full bathroom with spa sized tiled shower (including the ceiling) with charming mosaic, bedroom, and storage room w/solid wood decorative door that would be ideal for a future wine cellar. This incredible estate is one of the OG's in Saline Valley Farms and sits on one of the nicest sites in the neighborhood. Other features include a 3+ car side entry garage, concrete driveway, wired for a generator, all of the tile in the house is prepped for heated flooring, built to last with one and a half inches of concrete underneath all of the flooring (Builder's home) 2 furnaces and 2 air conditioners, and so much more. Fantastic community with Ella Lee Lake, rolling hills, mature trees, only a 5 minute drive to Downtown Saline, low York township taxes and award winning Saline Schools. Short drive to 23N and 23S.
