Rare offering of a secluded 3543 sq ft. mid-century modern home backing to 2.7 acres of wooded splendor, next to Fieldstone Golf Course. You will enjoy watching the home’s wooded valley view evolve thru the seasons.

One half-flight of steps from the main floor leads to 4 moderately sized bedrooms and 2 full baths. Each of the two adjoining bedrooms have non-load bearing walls which may be removed to create a larger room.  A half-flight higher leads to the vaulted master suite, large master bath with vanities and shower room.  Of note is the view from two walls of windows and the roof access for star gazing on special nights. Also on this floor is a private office. A half -flight of steps down from the main level is a cozy den/tv room with a Jotul wood burning stove. This room also offers a queen sized Murphy bed and an exterior door to a second small patio with FP. This level includes a large laundry/storage rm, an additional BR with a cedar closet and another full bath. The 2-story 4 car garage is a hobbyist’s dream while for day to day convenience, a carport is ideal. Walk the circular trail down to the stream and back for a dose of natural bliss.

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
