Some homes make a statement. This one makes you slow down. Set on five beautiful acres framed by split-rail fencing, open fields and peaceful pastoral views, this stately country home has a way of feeling impressive and welcoming all at once. Step inside and the scale immediately stands out-generous rooms, hardwood floors throughout, 9' ceilings on the main level, crown molding and chair rail, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace at the heart of the main living area. The renovated kitchen features Dacor appliances, abundant cabinetry and a large island that opens naturally to the spaces where everyone tends to gather. The floor plan is exceptionally flexible, with two choices for a primary suite, including an expansive main-level suite approaching 500 square feet. Both primary suites feature European-style bidets, all bedroom closets have custom shelving, racks and drawers, and the two additional bedrooms also have en-suite baths. A mudroom, separate laundry room with custom built-in storage and an additional full bath make the main level as practical as it is spacious. Downstairs, the walkout basement has a personality of its own, with polished concrete floors, rustic wood accents, a pellet stove, repurposed cabinetry and plumbing already roughed in for a future bath-ready to become a rec room, theater, workshop, game room or whatever fits the way you live. But the real magic is outside. A 600-square-foot deck overlooks the property, while a fire pit and seating area, raised garden beds, chicken coop, 20' x 12' shed and open pasture create the kind of setting that invites you to stay outside a little longer. Fields stretch out in front, rolling countryside and trees frame the rear, and C.M. Crockett Park and Germantown Lake are just around the corner. Other features include dual-zone HVAC systems replaced in 2021, a 2020 water heater, 2016 well pump, Generac generator and whole-house vacuum. When you visit, find a quiet spot out back-on the deck, in the yard, anywhere-take a deep breath and look around for a minute. There is something about this place that makes everything feel like it is moving at a more reasonable pace. Come see what five acres, a quality-built home and a little room to breathe can feel like.
