Timeless French-Inspired Estate on 6.5 Pristine Acres! Welcome to this extraordinary custom-built residence where stately elegance meets warm, inviting comfort--perfectly suited for both intimate gatherings and grand-scale entertaining. This all-brick, two-story home makes a striking first impression with a sweeping circle drive, sculpted bay window with flared copper roof, and arched front entry. Elegant Formal Spaces - A cathedral foyer with a motorized chandelier sets the tone, flanked by a formal dining room and private study with pocket doors and custom built-ins. Maple and stone flooring connect these spaces. The living room features soaring ceilings, arched windows, skylights, and a fireplace with built-ins and a wet bar--offering both grandeur and comfort. The Heart of the Home - The kitchen and great room create a seamless gathering space with granite countertops, breakfast bar seating, premium appliances, and custom Alderwood cabinetry. The adjoining hearth room with gas fireplace overlooks peaceful wooded views. A butler's pantry and spacious utility room add everyday convenience. Indoor-Outdoor Living - The three-season porch is filled with natural light and anchored by a brick fireplace, opening to a generous lighted deck with dual staircases. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat that offers tray ceilings, crown molding, plantation shutters, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like ensuite bath with steam shower, air-jet tub, dual vanities, and custom built-ins. Upper & Lower Level Living - A dramatic staircase leads to a skywalk overlooking the main living areas. Four bedrooms upstairs include two private ensuites and a Jack-and-Jill bath. The walkout lower level features a second living area with exposed brick fireplace, custom built-ins, wet bar, and French doors to a covered patio. A sixth bedroom with ensuite bath provides ideal guest or multigenerational living. Space to Expand & Explore - The unfinished portion offers tremendous potential, with mechanical systems (water softener, Trane HVAC units, three hot water heaters, CAT 5 termination), storage areas, and framing/electrical already in place for future expansion. Wooded acreage with trails and a seasonal creek creates a private, peaceful setting just minutes from Carthage.
