Are you looking for a home that makes every day feel like a getaway? This custom cedar and stone home, built and lived in by well-known stone mason Kenny Baker, combines the best of rustic and modern, creating a calm, comfortable atmosphere. The home is an oasis tucked away on a forested acre, just a 7-minute drive to shopping, 10 minutes to campus/downtown, and a little over a mile to the Lake Monroe Pine Grove ramp, adjacent to a protected wilderness area and rated the #1 spot in Indiana for launching kayaks. The versatile three-level home opens with a spacious living room featuring hardwood floors and windows on three sides framing nature’s beauty. Opposite the living area is an updated eat-in kitchen that stuns with cherry custom cabinets and maple countertops crafted by Nancy Hiller, a deep kitchen double sink, blue tile floors, and black appliances. A screened porch spans the back of the house, offering a relaxing outdoor living space overlooking a forest where songbirds, a wide variety of woodpeckers, and cheeky squirrels provide color and entertainment. Upstairs are two bedrooms with ample closet space and a full bath. On the lower level, which opens onto a walkout patio, a family room with painted concrete floors and wood burning stove adds to the coziness and character of the property. A potential third bedroom (currently set up as a study with custom-built bookshelves), a commodious closet, and an updated full bath round out the lower level. Sellers have installed a new heat pump HVAC system and new refrigerator in the past few months and have maintained their property with loving care. The front yard is low-maintenance, with lovely perennial blooms that will surprise and delight you in spring, summer, and fall. Now more than ever, it feels good to be able to escape from the crowds and recharge in a natural setting, whether it’s every day or for well-deserved breaks. Welcome home.
