Welcome to 7 Captain Richards Lane - a stunning retreat in Fort Salonga, offering unmatched privacy within an almost two-acre woodland sanctuary. This expansive colonial-style home boasts an open floorplan, with 4 bedrooms upstairs and 3.5 baths-including a newly remodeled bathroom with marble tile, a clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, double-sink vanity, large built-in cabinet mirrors, and a chandelier. The spacious kitchen is equipped with double Dacor ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, and a new cooktop, ideal for culinary enthusiasts. Adjoining the kitchen, the great room features a unique two-sided wood-burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a scenic backyard frequented by songbirds. The bright, generously sized living room showcases a mahogany fireplace mantel and a bay window with views of the front yard, while the large dining room includes its own bay window for a beautiful front yard vista. An added highlight on the main level is an extensive bonus space with three sizable rooms, a full bathroom, and a private entrance, offering versatile options for a home office, guest suite, or hobby area. An oversized attached two-car garage includes a new freezer and convenient kitchen access for easy grocery unloading. The finished lower level provides a laundry room, boiler room, vast storage, and two additional rooms suitable for a gym, playroom, or guest quarters, along with a full bathroom. The outdoor space is a true woodland oasis, complete with mature, lush gardens and a secluded 20x40-foot in-ground pool featuring a new deck surround and Merlin safety winter cover. Additional outdoor features include a screened-in gazebo with ceiling fan, a cozy wood-burning fireplace nook, an extensive patio, a 12-zone sprinkler system, and a "Fido" dog fence with two collars. Meandering woodland paths have been professionally landscaped to add a sense of tranquility. This estate is considered a horse property and has been meticulously maintained by its second owner, with recent updates including the roof, gutters, pool area, electrical systems, and more. Located in an area that offers extreme privacy, yet just minutes from shopping, parks, beaches, golf courses, downtown Northport, and the Sunken Meadow Parkway, this property combines seclusion with convenience. © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
