You are NOT going to want to be late for tea in this Wonderland of a property perched proudly on 3/4 of an acre in fabulous Colfax. Follow the Mad Hatter up the sidewalk on the magnificent approach to this towering beauty that even the Red Queen's army could not infiltrate. Secure the front door and be amazed at the spacious foyer and open staircase leading to the second floor. This is a perfect spot for a sitting area and an ideal placement for the Christmas tree! This stately manor holds 4 large bedrooms with a first floor option full of beautiful new windows allowing the natural light to pour into the room. If you're stingy with your natural light slide the pocket doors closed or throw them open and release even more natural light into the beautiful living room complete with a wood burning fireplace. The updated kitchen includes gorgeous and ample cabinetry with a built in secretaries desk for those late nights of paying bills or studying for this weeks spelling test and overlooks the dedicated dining area. A large powder room off the kitchen is perfect for guests and an ideal location for entertaining on the huge deck that overlooks a beautifully landscaped property with fruit trees and robust evergreens for shade and wind block. If you're "late for an important date" chase the white rabbit up the staircase to the primary bedroom with a large closet and seperate dressing/conversation room. The primary bathroom is the perfect place to find solace in the whirlpool tub or a quick in and out of the stand up shower to dust off before going down the rabbit hole of possibilites in this stunning home. The 24 X 30 oversized two car garage is fully insulated and heated with hot water floor heat and finished so well that even the Duchess would consider relocating from the Caterpillar's forest with her footman and cook in tow. Take in the sounds and mystical beauty of the backyard and eclectic landscape that wraps the entire home in a loving embrace. Roofs were replaced just one year ago and the basement has a new dewatering system with additional foam insulation in the crawl space and the entire sill plate also professionally sealed with foam insulation for optimum efficiency. The property has been preinspected and the report is available upon request. Professional photos by 3D Tour Gallery Photography.
