Details

This is a pretty substantial contemporary home built by Bowser Construction. It’s made with really strong materials like commercial steel and cinderblock, so it should hold up well. It sits back in the woods, offering a private feel and nice views of nature. Inside, the main living area has very high ceilings, reaching 29 feet. The layout is open, and there are unique touches like marble accents, built-in planters, two spiral staircases, and glass block windows.

The main living room has a wood-burning fireplace and looks out onto the woods, with a bar area attached, which is good for entertaining. The master bedroom is quite large, with its own fireplace, a sitting space, a big walk-in closet, and a bathroom that includes a jetted tub. There’s also an indoor spa area with a hot tub. The kitchen has granite countertops and electric appliances. Another family room features another wood fireplace and connects to a game room. The basement is finished and has several distinct areas, including a space for art, a general recreation room, and a dedicated theater room. It’s located in an area that’s easy to get to and has a good school system.
