Welcome to a secluded, peaceful setting on nearly 10 acres with a contemporary open interior, a fully stocked pond, and a 20x40 in-ground heated pool. Surrounded by mature trees and set down a long private drive, the residence allows easy access to Lake Wilhelm's marina, the Shenango Reservoir, and an easy 67 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh. A tabletop lot with tree stands already in place creates the feeling of your own personal game preserve. An artistic interior with vaulted ceilings and numerous large windows creates an atmosphere of solace and relaxation and one with nature. Open and bright the expansive interior flow includes a leaded glass entry door, a two-story foyer, a main-level bedroom en-suite, designer paint, built-in custom stained glass and a spacious living room. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room connects to the deck via an oversized set of glass doors. The kitchen is a stylish, functional workspace, as it has a large center island with counter seating, custom cabinets, designer fixtures, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a 6-burner Viking gas range with griddle. Opening directly to the poolside patio, the family room is a unique element of this refined custom home. Features include a built-in wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter, a large wet bar, and a built-in 90-gallon fish tank with a nearby mechanical room. The appeal continues with the expansive lower-level game/billiards room, theater room, and poker area. Certain to impress, the primary suite retreat has an oversized, spa-like bath with an extensive glass block, a jetted tub, a walk-in shower, and a bidet. Generous secondary bedrooms, a first-floor office, a second-floor laundry room, an attached heated three-car garage, and large storage areas add versatility to the floor plan. Maintained with superior attention to detail, the home also offers a new HVAC, a new roof, a natural gas well offering free heat for the home and pool, a pool house with a sound system, a second detached heated garage with room for a boat trailer, a well/water softener, and extensive drainage improvements. The pond, fed by natural spring water, includes an aerator and pumps that allow for customizing the water level and a pergola for entertaining. The pond is fully stocked with various fish including Large Mouth Bass, Bluegills, Black Crappie, Channel Cats, and Koi. Numerous specimen trees lining the property add to the feel of your own private nature preserve. Built by a premier local custom builder, the home also includes a fenced garden area, a pistol shooting range, producing hops beds, a volleyball court, horseshoe pits, and the chance to spot abundant wildlife, such as deer, fox, ducks, and geese. Take a dip in the pool or the pond, entertain under the pergola, or unwind and watch the stars by the built-in fire pit - the options for recreation are endless. Located near Cool Springs Fitness, which has indoor racquet/basketball courts and an indoor aquatic center, this is a secluded, personal oasis that is surrounded by pristine natural beauty.
