Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled on a nearly one-acre lot amongst an enclave of majestic oak trees, lies a home that is simply stunning. Enveloped with the sense of home right from the start, the cozy front porch is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while experiencing the beauty and stillness of nature, a place where the simple elegance of peace and quiet still exists. Upon entry, the soaring vaulted ceilings in the formal sitting and dining rooms set the mood for sophisticated charm. Offering the optimal opportunity to entertain, the kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and ample cabinet space. It also opens nicely to the sizeable yet cozy family room. A beautiful wood-burning fireplace and classic mantle are simply begging to be adorned with holiday décor. The master bedroom and bathroom are both spacious, making a true sanctuary and welcome respite after a long day. Two secondary bedrooms, on the opposite side of the home from the master bedroom, are well-appointed and nicely sized. Offering a plethora of options, the office can be used as a wonderful work room, play space or even a fourth bedroom. The piece de resistance, the pool and backyard, is a sight to behold. Overlooking a picturesque pond, the backyard is massive and gives the feeling of ultimate tranquility. Perfect for a fun pool party or refreshing swim, the huge pool is ideal. For additional peace of mind, the roof was replaced in 2020, AC in 2019, hot water heater in 2021, reverse osmosis water system under the sink and to the fridge in 2024, and new front doors in 2024. Oak Ford is a wonderful neighborhood that offers a little elbow room without being too far east. They say home is where your heart is; let your heart lead you here, to your new home.
