Key Facts
Description
Escape the ordinary without leaving Wildwood. Tucked among mature trees on more than four private acres, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers the peace and seclusion of a mountain getaway just minutes from everyday conveniences. If you've been searching for privacy, character, and a home that doesn't look like every other listing, you've found it. Inside, warm wood ceilings, exposed beams, and a dramatic stone fireplace create an inviting lodge-inspired atmosphere that immediately feels like home. The open living and dining areas are designed for gathering, while the custom main-floor bar adds a memorable space for entertaining friends, hosting holidays, or simply unwinding after a long day. Some rooms are simply part of the floor plan. This one becomes part of your life. Just off the living and dining rooms, a beautifully designed gathering space creates the kind of place people naturally gravitate toward. Whether it's craft cocktails with friends, a favorite bottle of wine shared over conversation, pizzas after soccer practice, holiday appetizers spread across the counter, a spirited game-day watch party, or family lingering long after dinner, it's a space that adapts to every season of life and every reason to gather. The finished walkout lower level expands the living space, offering flexibility for a family room, recreation area, home office, fitness space, or guest accommodations. Large windows throughout the home frame peaceful wooded views that change beautifully with every season. Step outside to a spacious deck where morning coffee comes with birdsong instead of backyard neighbors. A fenced yard provides room for pets or play, while the surrounding woods create the privacy and natural beauty that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Character may capture your attention, but thoughtful updates provide lasting peace of mind, including a new roof in 2025, dual zoned HVAC systems installed in 2018 and 2019, and new basement carpet in 2026. This isn't simply a house on acreage. It's a home for buyers who value privacy, nature, entertaining, and the feeling of coming home to their own personal retreat every day.
