80 Hilltop Dr, Elma, NY 14059

Tucked into a storybook setting unlike any other, this enchanting home began as a 1940s hunting cabin and has been lovingly transformed into a magical retreat where nature, charm, and comfort exist in perfect harmony. From the lovely circular driveway, cross over picturesque Pond Brook by way of a charming footbridge and arrive at this private oasis where the winding creek becomes the heart of the property, weaving through beautifully curated gardens and peaceful woodland surroundings. A breathtaking landscape with raised beds overflowing with astilbe, day-lilies, hellebores, black-eyed Susans, and hostas, while the surrounding woods burst to life each spring with primrose and trilliums. A covered front porch welcomes you into a light-filled living room. Warm parquet flooring and a wood stove create an inviting cottage atmosphere, while the open dining area with large bay window flows effortlessly into the kitchen. Pine cabinetry and generous counter space perfectly complement the home's rustic elegance. A 1st floor laundry and hallway lead to a brick-floored screened porch - an idyllic space for summer dinners or morning coffee. An open staircase leads to the 2nd floor where an airy balcony serves as both office space and hallway to 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The primary suite offers direct access to a private balcony with stairs leading to a flagstone patio complete with electric awning for shaded outdoor enjoyment. Thoughtful updates include split air/heat units, baseboard heat, tankless hot water, and a permanent gas generator for peace of mind. A detached two-story, two-car garage and blacktop driveway complete the property. Despite its secluded and peaceful feel, this remarkable home is conveniently located less than 30 minutes to the Airport and downtown Buffalo, and only 10 minutes to the Village of East Aurora. Enjoy the very best of WNY living with access to the region's picturesque countryside, renowned cultural destinations, professional sports and year-round recreation from Niagara Falls to nearby ski resorts. More than a home - it is a destination, a retreat, and a rare opportunity to own a truly magical property. Under contract -Open House Cancelled.
