Perfectly balancing stately elegance with privacy, this classic 1970 five-bedroom brick home sits on a beautiful 1.2-acre knoll top estate tract just minutes from the conveniences of downtown Clayton. The estate features a generous, park-like yard complete with a central stone fountain and commercial standard flag pole offering a peaceful mountain-view backdrop. Inside, the home is in wonderful condition and showcases a versatile combination of rich hardwood, cozy carpet, and durable laminate flooring throughout the main entry and living spaces. The heart of the home is the custom kitchen, meticulously crafted with detailed wood cabinetry by a previous owner who was a professional cabinet builder for decades, featuring the ultimate everyday convenience of a direct entry from the main-level garage. Enjoy the sun-drenched, vaulted enclosed porch/sunroom which overlooks the private rear grounds, or unwind by the brick fireplace in the main level den.  The spacious lower-level game room, with a pool table and fireplace, is a great place to entertain. This level also offers a flex room (5th bedroom with connecting bathroom), which also suitable for a library or office. Storage abounds in the massive basement storage room, fully outfitted with built-in shelving. Completely tucked away from the house for maximum privacy, a separate drive leads to an exceptional secondary hobby space comprised of a heavy-duty metal 3-car garage and two additional storage sheds. Offering expansive bedrooms alongside vintage tile baths, this well-maintained Southern colonial estate offers a rare combination of space, character, and location. Additional acreage available.
