The heart of the home is the inviting open-concept main level, where rustic charm and everyday functionality come together. The custom kitchen features a handcrafted wood breakfast bar that flows seamlessly into the breakfast area and spacious family room, highlighted by a cozy wood pellet stove that serves as a warm focal point. Just off the main living area, a versatile dining room/sunroom/laundry room offers endless possibilities as a home office, reading nook, second dining space, or additional sitting area. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor and includes a walk-in closet and private full bath. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom with its own walk-in closet and full bath provides a comfortable retreat for guests or family members. The finished terrace level significantly expands the home's living space, offering two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a second laundry area with utility sink, and plumbing already in place for a future kitchenette. With direct access to the backyard, this level is perfectly suited for multi-generational living, extended-stay guests, or a private entertainment space. Step outside and experience the peaceful beauty of country living from the expansive wraparound porch, where you can enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the evenings, and watch deer and other wildlife pass through the property. A new detached three-car garage provides abundant room for vehicles, equipment, and hobbies, while the unfinished loft above presents exceptional potential for a home office, studio, recreation room, guest quarters, or additional storage. Surrounded by nature yet conveniently located, this private retreat offers the best of both world with peaceful rural living just minutes from Covington, Madison, and Interstate 20, providing easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and commuting routes.
