This custom 2,800 square foot, 3-bedroom 2.5 bath split-level house is the quintessential modern rustic home. Situated on a beautiful, wooded area filled with tall pines, on a .3 acre cul-de-sac lot, this house is a perfect balance of northern privacy that is still close to it all, including the incredible Rumsey Park complex and Payson High School. The soaring wood beamed ceilings, skylights, European oak plank floors, and ample windows create a bright and cheery home, while the striking cast iron stove adds to the coziness of the open concept living and dining room. Sliding doors lead to a large wrap around trex porch, perfect for relaxing and watching sunsets. MORE The connected kitchen features granite and stainless-steel appliances. The cooktop island, large pantry, and eat-in counter area makes the kitchen roomy enough for family and still efficient. Follow the custom wrought iron railing upstairs to the generous loft, guest bedroom, and main bedroom that boasts its own private walk-out balcony. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level features a large game room, full size washer and dryer, and an additional bonus room that could be used as an office, craft space, or additional bedroom. The two-car garage has built in cabinets along the side as well as a custom built in workspace in front. Need more room? There is also a matching shed on property that is fully wired and insulated with additional covered storage. The lot is fully landscaped and firewised. Don't miss this perfect family home in the heart of Payson!
