Property Description
Architectural masterpiece meets modern luxury. This turnkey Norman Carver home is the perfect retreat. Privately situated on approximately 14 wooded acres, this extraordinary residence offers a rare combination of distinctive architecture, modern updates and an exceptional connection to nature. From the moment you enter, the architecture takes center stage. Soaring ceilings, dramatic rooflines, clerestory windows, and expansive walls of glass flood the home with natural light while showcasing panoramic views of the surrounding woods. Warm wood tones, stone accents, and open living spaces complement the home's mid-century character, while thoughtfully updated finishes provide the comfort expected for today's lifestyle. The updated kitchen features abundant cabinetry, generous workspace and a large center island that opens naturally to the surrounding living areas. Multiple gathering spaces provide room for both entertaining and everyday living, all with views that make the changing seasons part of the home's interior. The finished walkout lower level is an impressive extension of the home, featuring a spacious recreation/family room, additional flexible living spaces, a renovated bath, abundant storage and direct access to the grounds. Outside is where this property becomes a true retreat. Fourteen private acres of mature woods attract abundant wildlife and provide an incredible sense of seclusion. Extensive stonework, terraced landscaping, pathways and a firepit gathering area create multiple places to enjoy the property throughout the seasons. For the buyer who needs serious garage, hobby or storage space, the property delivers with a substantial detached garage/outbuilding in addition to the home's attached garage. A whole-house generator and two drywells add practical benefits to this remarkable property. Distinctive architecture. Fourteen wooded acres. Exceptional privacy. Modern comfort. 8701 W F Ave is more than a home—it's a private retreat designed to be experienced. American Home Shield Plus home warranty offered through the UrbanBound Program.
