If there ever was a home that “Has It All” this one is it! Experience life in the country that you will never want to leave! This custom built home was partly designed after the oldest home in Crystal Springs, Ms. “The Willing House” home, built in 1835. The home is the dream build of the current owner as he envisioned, then drew the plans and commissioned it into reality! Now this can be YOUR dream home! The current owner of this home was also the previous owner of the infamous “Willing House” home. This homestead sits in the middle of 13 beautiful acres with over a mile of hiking trails. Architectural roof and Hardie Plank siding, Cumaru porch flooring, indoor pine flooring are just a few of the features that make this home built to last. The large main residence features wrap around porches and the porch floors made of Cumaru. Cumaru, also known as Brazilian Teak, is denser and harder to work that the softwoods, it is considerably more expensive to buy and install than traditional flooring options, but wears much longer. As you go up the Old Chicago brick stairs, through the front entrance, you have a sense you are taken back in time. Notice the large foyer and tall 12 foot ceilings and wavy glass in the transoms, indicative of a time past when everything was hand made. The doors are antique, solid pine. Most old homes feel drafty because of minimal insulation but this home is warm and cozy in the winter and boasts low energy bills during the summer, due to quality craftsmanship and extra insulation throughout. The custom wood windows are top of the line “Marvin Integrity” and are built to last a lifetime. You can almost hear the grand piano playing as you enter the home. Off to your left is the Master bedroom. Notice the large windows that let in natural light. Cozy and warmth is what you will feel when you light the fireplace. Indulge yourself in a modern master bath room with a custom “Slipper Soaking Tub.” The travertine shower and large tempered glass door washes away all of your cares. The over-sized master closet is to “Die For.” Now let’s visit the formal dining hall and notice the breeze way from the front to the back of the home opens for those comfortable spring and fall days. One of the great features of the home is the custom built kitchen, featuring Thomasville cabinets with the soft-close feature and the bubble glass at the top of the cabinets. Also, there is a large island that features a two zone temperature wine cooler! Stainless appliances throughout. V-Groove ceilings and exquisite granite are the finishing touches. There’s also a large “Butler’s Pantry.” The den/keeping room just off of the kitchen is a wonderful place to entertain guests and just relax by the fire or go out on to the screened back porch and listen to the soothing sounds of nature and the outdoors.
