Services provided each residence includes a comprehensive landscaping package: weekly cutting, edging, trimming and pruning, some weeding, bi-annual mulching and a spring and fall clean up. Snow removal after 2" to your garage and front door, gutter cleaning twice annually, painting of the exterior and maintenance and insurance for all the Academy Woods common areas. ONLY ONE Homeowners Association, no additional master association. Living in Academy Woods is not just a home, or neighborhood, it is a lifestyle that will free up some of your precious time. When location matters...this premium location and wooded setting affords the miracles of Mother Nature year-round. Mix your favorite Aperitif and enjoy the terrace with privacy wall that spans the entire back of the home. Architectural details include tray & volume ceilings, finely detailed moldings, custom built-in's & rich hardwood floors. Kitchen offers an abundance of wood cabinetry, granite counters, a planning desk and dry bar. First floor master suite has a full bath and doors leading to the terrace. This versatile floor plan offers an additional room on the first floor, just off the foyer with another full bath located close by. Ideal for a guest or relative unable to maneuver the stairs or the ideal location for a private home office! It was the owners favorite place to read a book or tackle that 1000-piece puzzle. The second floor includes a loft overlooking the Great Room with a floor to ceiling library wall, two additional bedrooms and a full bath. An open staircase leads to an English full basement with a large room filled with natural light, currently set up as an office with a full bath and walk-in closet. A large unfinished area can be utilized for hobbies and an abundance of storage. Brick paver walk, driveway, terrace and irrigation system complete the outdoors. So much to offer, so many possibilities! Academy Woods residents are fortunate to have direct access to the Middlefork Savanna, once part of a large glacial lake. The Middlefork Savanna provides safe harbor for endangered plant and wildlife species, uncommon birds, butterflies and other species and several environmentally sensitive wetlands. Enjoy 670 acres of walking trails, birding, bicycling, cross-country skiing and hiking.
