Description

Driving the Sycamore-lined streets of the Hidden Forest community, adjacent to Evansburg state park, you easily spot 809 with classic black shutters and red front door. Stepping into the 2-story foyer with dimmable black wrought iron chandelier, the room to the right is open-concept, adjacent to the front stairwell, used as a formal dining room by the current owner. The study to the left contains double French doors separating it from the kitchen. Past the powder room (left) and basement stairwell (right), through double French doors, is the family room with open connection to the inside kitchen featuring a large counter-height peninsula dividing it from breakfast area. The updated kitchen features magnificent custom maple cabinetry with several accents including leaded glass transoms, dark granite, and tile backsplash. A coordinating coffee/ wine bar spills into the family room. The back staircase featuring built-in shelving leads to a large loft-style multi-functional room, as well as laundry room. The Owner’s suite with tray ceiling and vaulted (recently updated) bathroom, plus three additional bedrooms (one with small walk-in closet, all with custom wainscot and ceiling fans), and (recently updated) hall bathroom complete this level. A walk-up staircase leads to a finished, climate-controlled portion of the attic that could be used for an office, studio, bedroom, or storage. The home also features a finished basement with wainscot, wet bar, lighted cabinetry, and recessed lighting. The two remaining unfinished areas are currently used as exercise room and workshop containing mechanicals, and Bilco egress to backyard. A half bathroom completes this level. An outdoor oasis awaits, with 2-level stamped concrete patio, half covered by a custom pergola-style roof with stained tongue-and- groove ceiling, dimmable chandelier, and custom stone fireplace. Beyond the patio is the remainder of the flat, open, one-acre property, complete with lighted gazebo and garden shed.
