Property Description
Follow the American Flag Home! As you approach, look for the American flag waving by the road—your sign to turn into this hidden retreat tucked away on nearly 6 private acres just minutes from town. This one-of-a-kind estate offers approximately 4,800 square feet of living space designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and massive gathering spaces that make the home feel both grand and welcoming. The heart of the home features a stunning farmhouse-inspired kitchen complete with a farmhouse sink, beautiful brick arch over the stove, pot filler, and durable low-maintenance concrete floors. The oversized living and entertainment areas are perfect for hosting family and friends, with the main living room already wired for a projector—ready for movie nights, game days, or the ultimate home theater experience. A conveniently located half bath sits just off the main entertainment area. Upstairs, the layout offers incredible privacy. The expansive primary suite occupies its own side of the home and features a cozy fireplace, relaxing garden tub, and peaceful retreat-like atmosphere. On the opposite side, two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own private bathroom and balcony, creating the perfect setup for guests or family members who appreciate their own space. Downstairs, a bedroom has been converted into a laundry room, but could easily be returned to its original use with the washer and dryer relocated back to their previous location. Step outside and enjoy nearly 6 acres of room to roam, play, and explore. As an added bonus, the property even includes ownership of part of the canal, adding to the unique character and appeal of this private country estate. If you’ve been searching for a property with space, character, privacy, and room to entertain on a grand scale, this hidden gem deserves a closer look.
