Presenting the first homesite selected in the sought-after Orchards of St. Croix neighborhood, where each custom home was thoughtfully constructed by luxury builder, Hartman Homes. This charming craftsman rambler was situated to compliment the serene natural surroundings, prioritizing private backyard sunset views, with an aim to keep natural light streaming through from dawn until dusk. As you enter the home interior, a spacious foyer allows access to a home office flex space. From there you’re drawn toward the large Marvin windows in the vaulted Great Room with coffered ceiling beams, a warm stone fireplace, and custom built-in cabinets. A kitchen made for a chef, with generous walk-in pantry, completes the open-concept arrangement. You’ll notice real oak hardwood flooring, thoughtful tiling details, solid doors and millwork, and the quality Hartman features and extras throughout. The ample primary suite is tucked away nicely on the main level, while the guest bedrooms are found in the walkout lower level, along with a spacious family room, bar area, and exercise room. Storage space is not lacking, both interior AND exterior – in the heated attached garage, as well as the heated detached garage workshop. Out of doors choose to relax in the covered screened porch, the maintenance-free Trex grilling deck, or the decorative walkout patio area with fire pit. Notable extras include a high-end whole house softener system, RO with drinking tap faucet, digital video security setup with six cameras, whole home audio with several speakers and control pads, Lutron smart lighting, and Hunter Douglas power blinds. Enjoy newer high-end custom construction, that is truly turn-key. The home and grounds have been lovingly maintained, with beautiful landscaping, in-ground lawn irrigation, as well as over 40 trees planted. Just a decade ago this was a former tour showcase home, and a wonderful tone setter for Orchards of St. Croix. Take a stroll along the paved walking paths, leading to the community park and fruit Orchard with rustic covered pavilion, utilized by the residents for neighborhood and family gatherings. Nestled in the heart of St. Joseph, you have the coveted combination of privacy, nature, community, and convenience – only minutes away from the Stillwater Bridge, downtown Hudson, Perch Lake Park, scenic golf courses, and all the beauty the area has to offer.
