About this home

Some homes simply don't fit neatly into a box-and 31200 Phillips Branch Road is one of them. Offering nearly 6,000 square feet of beautifully maintained living space on a .78-acre homesite, this one-of-a-kind property packs an extraordinary amount of versatility into a surprisingly manageable footprint. Private living quarters, exceptional garage and workshop space, extensive parking, and an incredibly flexible floor plan provide the kind of space and functionality often associated with a much larger property-without acres of land to maintain. Thoughtfully expanded and improved over the years, every part of the property has a purpose, yet the possibilities for how you use it are entirely your own. Inside, multiple living and gathering spaces create an unusual amount of flexibility. The main level includes two bedroom suites along with an updated kitchen, spacious family and living areas, game room, office, exercise/flex space and a large four-season room overlooking the backyard. Upstairs adds even more living and flex space, allowing the home to adapt easily to changing needs. One of the property's most distinctive features is the private living quarters, offering a separate entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom/flex space, sunroom and direct access to its own oversized garage. It creates an exceptional setup for extended family, guests or multigenerational living while maintaining both privacy and connection to the main home. For anyone who needs serious garage, workshop or vehicle space, this property is especially hard to duplicate. The main 28' x 48' garage accommodates up to four vehicles and includes a 16' x 48' conditioned workshop/storage area above. A second 18' x 54' garage can accommodate up to three vehicles or a motorhome. Two separate driveways with additional side parking provide room for numerous vehicles, while two RV hookups offer additional flexibility and the potential for conversion to EV charging. Outside, the property is beautifully established with mature landscaping, a fenced rear yard, paver walkways, decorative pond, landscape lighting, fire pit and two sheds with electric. The property is also registered with the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat, a fitting distinction for the thoughtfully landscaped setting. A new roof, conditioned crawlspace, Pella windows throughout and extensive improvements reflect the care that has gone into the property. This isn't simply a large home-it's a property designed to make exceptionally good use of its space. Nearly 6,000 square feet of living area, private living quarters, substantial garage and workshop space, extensive parking and an established outdoor setting all come together on less than an acre. For buyers who want room for multiple generations, vehicles, hobbies, guests and everyday life-but don't want several acres to maintain-this home offers a combination that would be extraordinarily difficult to recreate.
