## Description

### Agent Description
This isn't just a home-it's the private resort you've been looking for. Nestled on approximately 1.12 wooded acres in desirable Amherst Township within the highly sought-after Firelands Local School District, this exceptional custom Colonial offers over 4,345 square feet of finished living space designed for everyday comfort and unforgettable entertaining. The main level features a welcoming two-story foyer, formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room with a gas fireplace, private office with custom built-ins, first-floor laundry, and an expansive kitchen with granite countertops, center island, abundant cabinetry, and an open layout perfect for gatherings. The owner's suite offers a walk-in closet, spa-like bath with a soaking tub, and a private balcony overlooking the backyard. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and a second full bath complete the upper level. The finished lower level features a large recreation room, bonus room, full bath, abundant storage, and direct access from the attached three-car garage, offering endless possibilities for entertaining, guests, hobbies, or a home gym. Step outside to your own private backyard retreat featuring a heated in-ground saltwater pool with a newer heater and filter, newer hot tub, oversized deck, patio, pergola, mature landscaping, and a peaceful wooded setting. The fully fenced pool area provides safety and convenience, while the pole barn offers outstanding space for storage, equipment, hobbies, or recreational vehicles. Additional highlights include public water, private septic, stone and vinyl exterior, whole house generator, attached three-car garage, and a Roof Maxx roof rejuvenation treatment with a transferable 5-year warranty. A rare opportunity to own a property that perfectly combines luxury, privacy, space, and resort-style living
