254 Bud Hardy Road SE

An elegant and inviting county house is nestled 10 minutes from town on alluring and private 5.74-acres. Originally built in 1985 and thoughtfully expanded in 2000, this residence now offers over 3,000 square feet of beautifully curated living space. From the moment you step inside, you're captivated by the generous family room, where rich, vibrant colors set a tone that is both bold and tranquil. A wood-burning stove adds character and comfort in this gathering space. Off the family room, you'll find a private en-suite bedroom and a full guest bath. On the opposite side of the family room, the laundry room doubles as a well-designed mudroom, finished with a mirrored backsplash, abundant cabinetry, and a utility sink. The light-filled kitchen is truly the centerpiece of the home, with a soaring vaulted and beamed ceiling, exposed original brick, and a succession of windows and doors that provide natural light and direct access to the courtyard. A professional gas range, solid stone counters, and an oversized center island anchor the space. Located off the kitchen, the primary suite offers a retreat of its own, featuring a separate soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous proportions. A rear flex room provides versatility as the perfect home office or guest room. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a lifestyle retreat. Over five acres of completely fenced, meticulously maintained grounds are framed by a gated entrance and a canopy of mature trees. A 36x40 workshop with a dock door is ready for projects or hobbies and a 24x30 pole barn with electricity offers additional storage. A gazebo with fire pit and an appointed outdoor kitchen invite year-round entertaining. This home is more than walls and windows-it is a place of genuine beauty, serenity, and purpose. A rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, space, and thoughtful design in one remarkable setting.
