This exceptional R.C. Peoples custom-built colonial offers exceptional space, inside and outside, for comfortable living and for recreation. The cul-de-sac 1.32 acre lot is one of the largest in Hickory Woods. Recent improvements include: renovating both upstairs bathrooms, a new pool liner, a new retaining wall on the back side of the pool, resurfacing the deck (and replacing some deck joists) and adding an owned solar panel electric generating system. Enter from the open front porch through the double front doors to a large, two-story foyer with turned staircase. To the right is the large, carpeted living room with wood-burning fireplace, and behind is the large, wainscoted dining room with a bay window overlooking the rear yard. The handsomely renovated (2018) eat-in kitchen offers extensive cabinet, storage and counter space, pull-outs on lower cabinets, wine/beverage bar area, large island, pantry and a casual dining area, and a sliding door to the sunroom. The adjoining family room features beams, a wood-burning brick fireplace set in a long wall of built-in shelves, and a second door to the carpeted and wooden-ceilinged sunroom. Behind the two-car garage is a spacious mud and bathroom and laundry room area with LVP flooring and a door to the rear deck. The full bathroom was renovated in 2015 and…don’t miss that laundry room! The rear patio and huge deck and gazebo and pool area all have a beautiful view of the wooded lot. There are two sets of stairs to the partially-finished basement: one from the garage and one from the entry hall. The basement is full and half is finished; an open game room with an egress window, and an exercise room/office. The unfinished part has a workbench and ample storage space. Under the stairs you will find a wine storage area. Upstairs to the left is the primary bedroom suite featuring a walk-in closet with built-ins (hers), second closet (his), elegant, renovated bathroom, and the door to a rooftop deck. To the right are the three large additional bedrooms and the beautifully renovated hall bath. The pull-down attic stairs are in the hall. UPGRADES: garage doors (2011), whole house water softener (2011) which also includes water dispenser for drinking at the kitchen sink, front doors (2012), upgraded 200 amp electrical panel (2012), deck (2013), poured concrete patio (2013), pavers around pool area (2013), all windows (2014) including the bay window in the dining room, gutters (2014), roof (2016), sunroom with removable storm window panels (2017), finished basement with egress window (2020), sliding door in kitchen (2021), back door by the laundry room and interior garage door (2021), second driveway with 50amp plug (2022), salt water filter for pool (2023), water heater (2024).
