Welcome to Crosswinds Lodge & Loft at 433–435 Sunset Drive, your own private paradise where tranquility, privacy and nearly five majestic acres create a setting increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded by mature trees, sweeping lawns, rolling countryside and beautiful views, this distinctive property offers a peaceful escape while remaining minutes from everyday conveniences.
Travel the long private driveway and the Lodge immediately makes an impression with log construction, charming dormers, stone chimneys and a sweeping covered front porch. Pull up a rocker, enjoy the breeze and take in the serene surroundings with the ever-changing landscape of the seasons. The level front lawn is perfect for outdoor games, while brick walkways add to the home's rustic charm. Inside, hardwood floors, exposed timber beams, warm wood details and large windows bring character and natural light throughout. The living room is anchored by an impressive wood-burning stone fireplace, while a second fireplace in the primary bedroom creates a cozy escape. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, tile flooring and a center island, with room to explore future expansion for a larger chef-inspired kitchen or dining area. Beautifully tiled baths include a glass-enclosed shower and charming clawfoot soaking tub, with the convenience of a full bath on the first floor. A spacious family/game room with wet bar and included pool table offers another wonderful gathering space. Step outside and discover where this property truly shines. The backyard is a private resort-style oasis featuring an in-ground swimming pool positioned to enjoy abundant sunshine throughout the day. Relax poolside, entertain family and friends or simply enjoy the remarkable peace and privacy. A screened rear porch overlooks the pool and fenced tennis court and offers built-in lounging areas plus room for pest-free outdoor dining. The tennis court provides another exceptional recreational amenity with potential for conversion to pickleball. Gather around the fire pit on cool evenings for conversation, stargazing and roasting marshmallows. The large, fenced backyard provides room for pets while helping keep visiting deer and wild turkeys outside the main yard. Beyond it, nearly five acres of grass, mature trees and gently rolling terrain provide room to roam and a wonderful hill for sledding when winter arrives. The Loft, a separate second-floor studio apartment above the two-car garage, has its own private entrance, kitchenette and full bath, offering flexible accommodations for extended family, an au pair, guests or other permitted uses. Additional amenities include central vacuum, spacious unfinished basement with Bilco access and utility/mud sink added in 2023, storage shed, two-car garage and ample driveway parking. There's room to explore an additional garage or pole barn, subject to municipal approval. Even the golf cart is included—perfect for trips down the long driveway! For the buyer with an entrepreneurial vision, Crosswinds Lodge & Loft may offer possibilities beyond its use as a private residence. Its lodge-style character, separate studio apartment, recreational amenities and setting invite exploration of potential hospitality, short-term rental, investment or other income-producing uses, subject to township zoning, approvals, licensing and all applicable requirements. Whether envisioned as a distinctive primary residence with separate accommodations, multigenerational living arrangement or a property whose future potential is waiting to be explored, 433–435 Sunset Drive offers remarkable flexibility. The current family/game room offers potential for a 5th bedroom or a 1st floor In-law-Suite with a separate entrance.
