Welcome to Ardentown! This incredibly unique property has been colloquially referred to as "The Hansel and Gretel Home", and is a true one-of-a-kind gem! Privately nestled at the end of a dead-end street, and surrounded by the Arden woodlands, it is a nature lover's dream! When you first pull up, you'll immediately fall in love with the setting as the home is set far back from the street and engulfed in the forest. An inviting stone path leads you through the gardens and up to the front door step. A whimsical arched doorway lures you into the foyer, and a second, matching door welcomes you into the home. Straight ahead is a formal dining room with soaring 2 story ceilings and is open to a loft area above. To the left are the 'Jack and Jill' bedrooms, connected by a recently updated full bathroom, and each with a wall of windows overlooking the woods. To the right is the main living room which is at the heart of the home. Here you'll love the stacked stone wood burning fireplace and tall, vaulted ceiling. A set of large, custom windows provides a great view of the front yard, and were replaced in recent years along with all other front windows. Continue through to access the screened-in front porch added by current owners in 2014. Here you'll find approx. 126 sq. ft. of screened in space, for a bug-free area to enjoy all the sights and sounds of the outdoors! Moving on to the rear of the home is where you'll find the tastefully updated kitchen. Complete with stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and granite countertops, this space blends it's modern amenities seamlessly with the home's old world charm. A cozy breakfast corner adds to the appeal with more incredible views of the woods. A side door provides access to the backyard and huge, 16' x 40' deck. Added by current owners in 2014, this space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A third bedroom and second full bathroom round out the first floor. Upstairs is home to the private and luxurious owner's suite. Take a pause as you pass through the sitting area to admire the dining area below and tree tops outside. A half-wall of built-in bookshelves connects this space to the office area. Next is the incredibly spacious owner's bathroom complete with tiled floor, deep soaking tub, and more views of the outdoors. Finally, the main bedroom is sure to please with ample closet space and windows on 3 walls. Outside, you'll find just as much to love as inside! Multiple stone walkways take you through the gardens and connect a series of sitting areas and patios. The hot tub provides a space to relax like no other! A plethora of perennial plantings create various attractions all throughout the year. All this in the convenient and historic village of Ardentown, with tons of year round activities for people of all ages. The current owners have poured in lots of love, and roughly $125,000 in upgrades to make this house a one-of-a-kind showpiece! There is so much more to see and experience in person, so schedule your tour today! And make sure to give yourself a little extra time to take the quick walk down to the creek... you'll be glad you did!
