Welcome to 9810 Fancher Heights, a striking mid-century modern home with Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired features, designed for everyday living and entertaining. This distinctive 5-bedroom, 2-full-bath, 2-half-bath home offers 2,964 square feet on a full acre with a wooded backdrop. The exterior showcases a locally sourced creek stone façade, black metal roof, and expansive front deck. The front yard has been cultivated as a wildlife habitat meadow with paths, benches, and birdhouses—ideal for the outdoor enthusiast, bird watcher, or naturalist. Inside, the vaulted great room is anchored by a dramatic double-sided, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, creating a striking focal point visible from both the living room and adjoining kitchen and dining areas.

The primary bedroom suite offers a private retreat, with a wood-paneled study/office featuring built-in bookshelves and glass-front cabinetry, a built-in dresser, an ensuite bathroom, and expansive windows overlooking the woods. The finished lower level provides additional living space, currently configured as a home theater and rec room with a projector and half bath. The laundry room offers built-in cabinets, drawers, and counter space. Four additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the lower level. The attached two-car garage offers storage, workspace, and a 220-volt EV plug. Updated mechanicals include a high-efficiency boiler and indirect water heater, along with ductless mini-split A/C on the first floor. Outside, the back deck overlooks the woods and fire pit area, perfect for relaxing evenings beneath the trees.
