About this property

A true one-of-a-kind custom ranch tucked away on 3 wooded acres in Wildwood. Designed and built by Pettibone Construction with Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired elements, this home is all about architecture, natural light, privacy, and connection to the outdoors. The striking hip roof, welcoming entry porch, full-height windows, transom windows, dramatic vaulted and tray ceilings, and beautiful natural setting give this home a character you simply don’t find every day. The home features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a half bath, including a spacious primary suite with its own private deck and an updated bath featuring heated flooring, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, walk-in closet with stylish organizers and an additional closet. The main floor also offers a beautiful den tucked behind a french glass door with transom windows, an abundance of natural light, and even its own small sink and cabinetry...a perfect home office, studio, or quiet retreat. The heart of the home is the sunlit family room featuring a 12-foot tray ceiling, full-height windows, remote-controlled blinds, custom bookcases flanking a beautiful fireplace and access to the screened room and deck overlooking the wooded grounds. The kitchen and breakfast room are equally inviting, featuring newer granite countertops, backsplash and appliances, gorgeous maple cabinetry, a convenient center island, newer high end appliances, a custom tuck-under butcher block, and one of the home’s many skylights. The dining room offers a dramatic 10-foot tray ceiling and is tucked in next to the sunny living room with cozy fireplace, while the impressive entry features a beautiful vault with remote skylights. And if you’ve ever dreamed of a BIG laundry room with plenty of counter space for folding, extra pantry storage, and windows overlooking the screened-in deck, this one checks that box too. Let's not forget about the garage space...this one has FOUR total garage bays, with TWO on the main level with transom windows and TWO additional rear tuck-under bays. The walk-out lower level is anything but ordinary, with 12-foot ceilings, abundant windows, access to two patios, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, walk-in storage closets, and an enormous amount of unfinished space for storage or future possibilities. There’s even direct access to the second garage and back stairs leading up to the main level. Built with energy efficiency and comfort in mind, the home features 6-inch exterior walls with R24 insulation, R44 attic insulation, Weather Shield insulated windows, passive solar design, and zoned Trane heat pumps. Major updates include a newer roof, chimney chase cover, and skylights in 2024, septic tank replacement in 2019, a new septic drip system in 2023, updated water heaters, water softener service, landscaping/hardscape around entire home w/ paths, renovated primary bathroom, replace lower level carpet and had the entire home repainted. Outside, a circular driveway, extensive hardscape landscaping, multiple patios and decks, coach lighting, and mature wooded surroundings create a private setting that feels worlds away while still being close to everything Wildwood has to offer. Architecturally distinctive. Thoughtfully maintained. Completely private. And truly unlike anything else. Unique homes like this don’t come along every day. Make plans to see it today!!
