At the heart of the home is a recently renovated custom kitchen designed for gathering. Featuring stunning oak cabinetry, Café appliances, quartz countertops, elegant brass hardware, and a beautifully appointed bar area with wine and beverage refrigeration, the space is both warm and sophisticated. The first floor offers a bright, flexible layout tailored to modern living. A gracious dining room lined with windows provides the perfect backdrop for entertaining. The inviting family room/den showcases a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and direct access to the rear terrace. Just beyond, a pass-through library leads to an additional living space currently used as a living room—complete with a deep wood-burning fireplace and sliding glass doors opening to the terrace. A newly renovated laundry and mudroom with generous storage, cubbies, and a coat closet adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, the second floor offers four to five bedrooms, depending on your needs. One room is currently styled as a sophisticated home office with custom built-ins and a desk, while another adjoins the primary suite and serves as a spacious dressing room. Three full bathrooms enhance the versatility and comfort of this level.

A detached two-car garage sits just steps from the house and features a second-floor loft with a newly installed mini-split system for heating and cooling—offering endless potential for a studio, office, or guest space. The private, fenced, professionally landscaped backyard is set on a rare, expansive flat lot with and includes a basketball court installed behind the garage. Multiple access points from the main level lead to the rear terrace, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living.
