Welcome to your own private sanctuary along an elevated ridge far from the madding crowd on nearly 7 acres of heaven, yet just a 5 minute drive to downtown Belfast. This architect-designed contemporary home (blueprints are available) offers not only a comfortable home providing a quality lifestyle, but also a recreation area with trails to walk your dog, a rectangular ice skating pond that attracts herons in the summer & migrating ducks in the fall, a level badminton court area, & many places to set up your hammock for a lazy summer afternoon. Begin your morning in the east-facing master bedroom, admire the sunrise or step outside on the Juliet balcony to breathe the summer morning fresh air. Pad across the carpeted floor to the well-appointed en suite bathroom with a lighted glass & tile shower. Then, to the welcoming kitchen with a wall of windows and a slider to the deck for your first coffee or tea of the day. Enjoy your warm beverage at the commodious granite-topped island with stools at one side (and still large enough for baking, cooking, or the caterers), or sit outside on your deck furniture. You can go directly to your first floor office with large windows & a pleasing view of your grounds outside and work from home today, or plan your evening of entertaining friends in the step-down formal living room with a grand fireplace, then on to the formal dining area, followed by a friendly game of ping pong or pool in the basement rec room. This home, owned by just 2 families since it was built in 1982, has been meticulously upgraded and maintained. The grounds are park-like & include perennial gardens, lilac bushes, & a spectacular yellow tulip tree that blooms in the spring. This is a rare opportunity to live-your-dream! Features include: 3 working fireplaces, garden shed for lawn equipment storage, a woodworking shop in the basement, hot & cold running water and a floor drain so you can wash your car in the heated garage, paved driveway, cedar close
