A Craftsman's Masterpiece Awaiting Its Final Chapter Rarely does a property of this caliber come to market. This meticulously transformed 1970s brick ranch has been elevated into an extraordinary Arts and Crafts/Greene & Greene-inspired residence by a master carpenter whose attention to detail borders on the obsessive — and that's meant as the highest compliment. A stunning addition of nearly 2,000 square feet was constructed with 2x6 framing and finished with hand-built window and door casings. Three doorways have panel jamb doors and the dining room has a spalted maple radius ceiling. Many unusual species of hardwoods are found throughout including quartersawn ash, tiger maple, walnut, plus quartersawn oak and cherry. Select white oak hardwood floors flow throughout, while imported Pennsylvania fieldstone and bluestone graces the exterior elevations. Every architectural detail — inside and out — reflects the kind of uncompromising craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated at any price point today. The Interiors speak for themselves: three full baths featuring tile wainscoting and quartz countertops, deep Americast soaking tubs, and Pella Architectural Series windows throughout. Six primary living spaces — including the primary bedroom and bath — plus all three covered porches are wired for ceiling speaker surround sound. Even the coffee niche and laundry room received quartz countertops, because no detail was too small. In the kitchen, the Wolf dual-fuel, dual oven, 6-burner range with convection grill conveys with an acceptable offer. The Garage/Workshop is legendary. A massive 40' × 76' structure with 12×12 and 12×10 overhead doors, a loft, and some plumbing ready for a kitchen and bath — large enough to house an RV, a boat, and multiple vehicles simultaneously. The slab is 5” thick and there is 600 AMP service. Currently operating as a professional woodworking shop, it is stocked with quality equipment, tools, and supplies available separately via auction or bill of sale. Infrastructure is solid: the crawlspace is fully encapsulated, and the entire home has spray foam, open cell fire retardant insulation for maximum energy efficiency. In the attic find 1” OSB flooring, the manifold and pumps for the radiant heat system, the water filtration system, ERV, and metal duct work insulated with short pieces of flex. All primary work was completed between 2013 and 2015 to an exceptional standard. What remains is a short and well-defined punch list: permanent exterior doors, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and appliances, a vanity and sink for the half bath, some interior and exterior wood finishing, trim, and paint. The grounds await landscaping, and the horse barn can be restored or removed to suit your vision. This is an extraordinary opportunity for a discerning buyer — a contractor, craftsperson, or design enthusiast — to acquire one of the finest quality builds available anywhere and put their own finishing touches on a true architectural gem. Own the bones. Write the ending.
