LOVE & FAMILY LIVE HERE. Southern charm and elegance abound in this six-bedroom, 6 1/2 bath home located in Goshen on a private, beautiful, almost 8 acre lot. This home has had only two dedicated and passionate owners. The original homeowner was a well-known, CUSTOM home builder and land developer. As his fifth and last personal family home, with a lifetime of home building experience, the quality and craftsmanship are unmatched. After visiting the home, many have said ''they just don't build quality like this anymore''. As you arrive onto the property through the stone and gated entrance you will journey up the long driveway towards the circular garden ''winner's circle''. As you take in the massive trees, expansive open spaces and the well-appointed landscape adorning this colonial beauty, you will quickly be in AWE and excited to step inside. As you pass through the white pillars on the front porch and open the front door, a grand two-story foyer welcomes you. A BEAUTIFUL chandelier and matching wall sconces shine brightly on the marble floors, oak staircase and dental crown molding built with custom techniques not found in today's construction. As a home built to welcome, gather and entertain family and friends, there are several rooms that offer distinct, comfortable settings. The first floor library creates nostalgic comfort with its floor to ceiling cabinets and bookshelves, fireplace and a full walk-in bar with its own stainless steel refrigerator and sink. The formal living room is incredibly spacious and ELEGANT with a central fireplace and built-in wall outlets to showcase heirloom artwork. The massive dining room will hold several tables or one large banquet table and is accessible from the kitchen and through French doors from the sunroom for ease of service and family connectedness. The enormous eat-in kitchen with EXPANSIVE granite counter tops makes cooking, hosting dinner nights and large entertaining a breeze. The kitchen features high quality hickory cabinets and 100 yr old antique glass. Two dishwashers, a double oven and a new induction cooktop really make this kitchen incredibly functional for any host. The L-shaped sunroom with its beautiful slate floor, sky lights and full size sliding windows starts just outside of the kitchen, covers the back of the home and then connects to the front so one can take in both the front and back of the estate grounds while relaxing in comfort. The master suite is LUXURY. It has been completely updated with bamboo hardwood floors and a STUNNING MASTERBATH!!! This is a must see. The beauty, style and elegance abound in this spa retreat with brass footed soaking tub and huge glass surround walk in shower all beautifully designed and appointed. Upstairs, family and guests will be incredibly impressed by the LARGE four bedroom SUITES each with a sitting area, separate vanity and personal bath, all large enough to accommodate king beds and large furniture pieces. Every bedroom has a fantastic view of the beautiful grounds. Also, upstairs is an office that can be used as another, smaller bedroom if desired or keep as a private, quiet study/office with a great view of the back yard. Now the family favorite, the full finished basement is an AMAZING get away and truly has a LODGE feel for gaming, playing cards, billiards, or gathering around the television for family movies. An INCREDIBLE stone fireplace is located next to a full bar with a CLASSIC wood stove gracing the billiards room. There is also a full bath and private room on the lower level currently used as another bedroom (no egress). There is plenty of storage space with a large, walk-in cedar closet and another large room completely dedicated to household decorations or keepsakes. The three car garage also has two storage closets and a garbage closet. The grounds create a sanctuary for both people and wildlife. The huge 300 yr.-400 yr. old trees including Black Walnut and Beech trees as well as large pine trees create complete privacy and just the right amount of shade. The ravine in the back corner with a small creek, welcome wildlife families including woodpeckers, rabbits, deer and create a perfect setting for relaxing. These grounds are simply amazing and feel like you live within a park. The original construction of this home cannot be beat, and the 2nd owner made sure to continue to care for the property with top notch attention. The roof is less than 5 years old, a new water heater, so many updates and upgrades to boast. Please review the added documents to the seller disclosure as well as the heartfelt letter and story of this beautiful home.
