About this home
Imagine living in a private woodland retreat where architecture, nature, and creativity converge. Set on nearly four serene acres in Carroll County, this architecturally distinctive residence thoughtfully designed by artist/designer couple and owners Julie and Ken Girardini offers a peaceful setting with a gentle stream winding through a mature forest, in addition to curated gardens, and a greenhouse for year-round growing. A memorable approach begins along a wisteria-covered walkway leading to a tranquil koi pond, fountain, and Japanese rock garden, setting the tone for the artistry woven throughout the property.
Inside the main residence, a bright open floor plan is enhanced by dramatic corner windows, including Andersen awning windows with fixed upper panels and Andersen sliders, which frame the landscape and fill the home with natural light. Oak hardwood flooring and calming interior tones flow throughout.
A striking floating staircase with solid cherry treads and a steel monorail design accented by a copper handrail serves as a sculptural focal point. Artistic elements continue in the living room, where a one-of-a-kind gas fireplace clad in steel and a custom concrete relief artwork enhance the space. The living room boasts a wall of windows and dual sliders providing access to the deck. A distinctive curved steel door leads to the powder room, adding another layer of architectural interest.
At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a gas cooktop, stainless-steel appliances, sleek custom European cabinetry, and a dedicated scullery for additional prep and storage. The dining area overlooks the open-concept layout, enhancing both flow and function.
The upper level offers a spacious primary suite with a spa-like bath and custom handmade cherry cabinetry, plus three additional bedrooms and a full bath. A full basement provides flexibility with ample storage and future finishing potential. The home is equipped with geothermal heating and air conditioning, an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for year-round comfort.
This home exceeds expectations in quality and attention to detail, with many creative features the artist couple handcrafted in their studio. Every aspect of the property is carefully curated with a keen eye for visual harmony from every angle.
Outdoor living is equally inviting, with an expansive deck overlooking the woods, a hot tub for relaxation, and a welcoming front terrace with a gas fire pit perfect for gathering and enjoying the natural surroundings in every season.
A defining feature of this exceptional offering is the expansive 3,000-square-foot detached studio: an extraordinary live/work space designed with scale and flexibility in mind. Fully heated and air-conditioned, the structure includes a 12' × 9’ high bay door and an attached two-car garage. The space is equipped with an air compressor and airline connections throughout multiple workshop areas, plus a powder room. The upper level hosts a private office/gallery with its own high-speed Wi Fi connection, while the lower level features two sliding doors providing walkout access to the greenhouse, seamlessly blending workspace with the natural surroundings. With soaring 10-foot ceilings and abundant light, this versatile building is ideally suited for a home-based business, creative studio, workshop, or entrepreneurial venture.
This one-of-a-kind offering presents a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, tranquility, natural beauty, and a highly functional live/work lifestyle all within convenient reach of everyday amenities....
