Description

Welcome to a rare find in the countryside of Malta- a stunning 4,600 sq ft, 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath estate set on 2.75 private acres of peaceful, open space. Thoughtfully remodeled in 2007, this spacious residence seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern design, all wrapped in warm natural light and surrounded by peaceful countryside. Step into a welcoming foyer, designed with built-in storage for coats, shoes, and daily essentials-functional and family-friendly from the start. The open-concept layout flows effortlessly into a spacious family room featuring a gas fireplace, ideal for cozy evenings. Just off this space, you'll find a one-of-a-kind three-season room with barnwood-accented walls, baseboard heating, the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading, or unwinding with friends, no matter the season. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen tailored for entertaining and everyday living. With custom cabinetry, tall base cabinets, double ovens, granite countertops, bay window and breakfast bar, it's as functional as it is beautiful. A large walk-in pantry keeps everything organized, while the oversized laundry room just off the kitchen offers ample storage space, sink, built-in ironing board, chute and more. The dining area glows with natural light from a large bay window and flows into a cozy living room with a second gas fireplace, creating the ideal gathering space. Private den, tucked off the living area-perfect for an office, reading nook, or quiet space to relax. Upstairs, the grand master suite is a peaceful retreat with five closets, including a large walk-in and master bath. The four additional bedrooms, including a spacious third-floor suite with dual attic storage, offer comfort and abundant closet space for everyone. The walkout basement is partially finished, complete with heated floors and a full bathroom-ideal for your future rec room, home gym, and it also offers convenient access for swimmers coming in from the pool. Step outside to your own private backyard oasis, featuring a fenced in-ground pool with slide and diving board, brand-new liner (2025) and a pool heater installed in 2022. The home's major systems have been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded for peace of mind: a new roof and gutters were added in 2020, the driveway was replaced in 2021, and a new second-floor furnace was installed in 2022. The water heater was updated in 2021, and the septic system was cleaned in 2023. The basement furnaces were replaced in 2001 and 2007, while the basement floor heating system was also added in 2007. Natural gas was brought to the property in 2010, increasing efficiency and convenience. Additionally, two new electric panels were installed in 2007, and carpeting throughout the first and second floors was replaced in 2021, giving the home a fresh, updated feel. Outside, the expansive property includes a large barn with space for projects, recreational gear, or personal vehicles, plus a second-story hayloft currently being used as a workout room-let your imagination run wild. Corn crib located next to pool, adds even more room for storage including all your pool equipment, car restoration projects, or creative work. Both the home and corncrib are secured by a whole-property alarm system installed in 2007. This remarkable Malta property offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern upgrades, with thoughtful touches at every turn. Whether you're looking for space to grow, room to create, or a peaceful escape with character and convenience-this home has it all.
