Stately French Country Style home, recognized in 1996 by Virginia Tech for its intelligent and complex yet simple design, stands as a testament to award-winning architect David Bandy of Spectrum Design Group. Bandy's work seamlessly integrates the home with its natural surroundings, creating a harmonious flow and abundant natural light that accentuates the custom details throughout. Renovated in 2024, the home features a gourmet kitchen complete with a wine bar, ice maker, quartzite countertops and new Bosch appliances, leading into an attached sunroom with a vaulted ceiling. Oak wood flooring and grand open floor plan. The master suite offers a private office, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa bath with a jacuzzi tub. The walkout basement includes a custom oversized wet bar, a pool table, engineered wood floors, and a grand double-sided gas fireplace. The additional basement has an ensuite bedroom and tons of bonus space for office, crafts or gaming. Outside, you'll find a private formal garden, an oversized deck with a gazebo, and numerous special touches. Nestled in the heart of Salem on a private 10-acre lot, this unique home is a must-see. Only qualified buyers, please.
