Property Description

If you don't know about the special enclave that is Wake Drive, you don't know what you're missing. Besides being on a quiet, dead-end street with wonderful neighbors, this exceptional residence, built by Duncan Ray of Ray Custom Homes (now Artisan Crafted Homes), offers timeless design, thoughtful updates and outstanding livability. The main floor features 10-foot ceilings, heavy moldings and beautifully proportioned formal spaces, including a large living room and family room--each with a gas-log fireplace--and a gracious dining room with a bay window. A main-floor guest suite adds flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. The heart of the home is the 2021-renovated kitchen, showcasing white cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway-tile backsplash, a Wolf gas range and a Thermador built-in refrigerator. Entertaining is effortless with a butler's pantry featuring a U-Line icemaker (with the good ice) and a large walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite impresses with a generous bedroom and a large, well-appointed bath. The finished basement offers a rec room, workout room, abundant storage and a dedicated mechanical room--while a whole-house generator provides peace of mind, running everything except the basement HVAC. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage, excellent storage throughout, a new roof in 2024 and a great deck overlooking a beautiful yard. Ideally located in this sought-after location, this home combines quality construction, modern updates, and a serene setting plus the bonus of the Root-Oberlin-Broughton school district.
