This custom ranch on just over 4.5 acres gives you all the peace and serenity of country living while being only moments from all that Downtown Monroe has to offer. Enter through the front door into the foyer to be greeted by an open layout that is an entertainer's dream. The foyer is open to the spacious dining room and gracious family room, which features a gorgeous brick fireplace that spans from the floor to the vaulted ceiling. Seamlessly flow into the kitchen, which would be the delight of any chef. Double convection ovens are built in, while the generous gas range gives room for multiple pots. The granite counters provide ample space, but there is also a lovely pantry and custom cabinetry galore. The giant island has shelving throughout, as well as seating. Directly across from the kitchen is the laundry room/mudroom, with open shelving, a sink, and a built-in bench. This will lead you out to the two-car garage! The owner's suite is around the corner from the kitchen, and it is truly one-of-a-kind. Look up and admire the tray ceiling with exposed beams. The ensuite bathroom is fit for a spa, with a soaking tub, separate shower, and spacious walk-in closet. The other three bedrooms on the main floor are generous as well. One bedroom has an adjacent full bathroom, while the other two bedrooms share a full bathroom (and all bathrooms feature custom cabinetry!). Make sure to admire the gorgeous hardwood and tile floors throughout the main floor - the only carpet you'll find is in the fifth bedroom upstairs. Outdoors you will find something for everyone! This is a gardener's paradise - lush beds along the front of the house, custom-built XL raised beds with a potting station, blueberry bushes, and a variety of fruit trees (apple, peach, and plum). There is also a custom-built chicken coop with an attached enclosure, a spacious wooden outbuilding, and a built-in clothesline (if you've never had sun-dried clothes, you are missing out). Both the front and back yards have irrigation systems installed. And last but not least, the heated gunite saltwater pool with an attached spa (that flows over via waterfall). This pool features a sumptuous sun deck as well a variety of depths. The pool is surrounded by pavers, with plenty of room for entertaining. The pergola nestled in the corner will stay with the home! The owner's suite contains French doors that open directly onto this backyard oasis.*Commission to selling broker will be reduced to 1% if not present at the first initial showing of the property.
