Nestled on 4.5 stunning acres in the treed haven of Pinewood Knolls, this original-owner custom home offers the beauty and serenity of mountain living without the long commute. Every inch of its 4,500+ square feet is filled with warmth, character, and thoughtful features that make it truly stand out. A grand double staircase greets you in the entry, setting the tone for the elegance inside. Pocket doors lead to the inviting great room, where a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace anchors the space and oversized windows frame lush green views in every direction. The kitchen blends rich hardwood floors, granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a sunny eat-in nook, alongside a formal dining room. Step outside to a private outdoor sanctuary, where a massive three-level deck is ready for entertaining, relaxing, or soaking in the hot tub surrounded by whispering pines and soaring trees. On the main level, a versatile study with its own ensuite easily transforms into a private office or guest retreat, while an oversized laundry room connects to the 3-car garage. Upstairs, a charming loft showcases sweeping views, while double doors open to the luxurious primary suite featuring two walk-in closets, a five-piece ensuite bath, and direct access to your secluded third-level deck. Two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a secret bonus room hidden behind the third bedroom closet add extra space for storage, a game room, or your creative vision. The finished walkout basement is filled with opportunity, currently set up as a studio apartment with a fifth non-conforming bedroom and ensuite bath. Recent upgrades include new James Hardie siding (2021), a new furnace (2024), new water heater (2022), and nearly all new windows (2022). The expansive grounds invite wildlife sightings, starlit evenings, and peaceful mornings with nature. This rare find is the ultimate mountain retreat, combining privacy, luxury, and convenience in a single breathtaking package.
