At the heart of the home is an expansive, light-filled gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A large center island anchors the space, complemented by granite countertops, furniture-grade custom cabinetry and premium Bosch and GE Monogram appliances. The adjoining breakfast room opens directly to the beautifully landscaped grounds, while an elegant wet bar with wine refrigerator and the main-level laundry room are conveniently nearby. The sun-drenched sunroom is one of the home’s most captivating spaces, featuring a beadboard vaulted ceiling, custom built-ins, and floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides overlooking the manicured grounds. The main living room offers a warm gathering space with a wood-burning fireplace, intricate dentil-molding mantel, custom built-ins, and crown molding. The second level features four spacious bedrooms with hardwood flooring. The luxurious primary suite includes three closets, including a walk-in, and a dedicated dressing area. Its spa-inspired en-suite bath features heated sandstone floors, an oversized rain shower, dual vanities, crown molding, and a private water closet. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath, while two linen closets and an adjoining storage room provide exceptional functionality. The third floor offers two additional generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, and ample storage, providing flexibility for guest quarters, home offices, creative spaces, or additional bedrooms. The finished lower level expands the living space with brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring. A spacious recreation room features another wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, ideal for movie nights, play, gatherings, or casual entertaining. Multiple storage areas, including a generous double-door storage closet with shelving and a climate-controlled former exterior-stairwell space, provide abundant storage.

The handsome wood-and-stone exterior features Hardie Plank siding,, copper gutters and downspouts, gutter guards, and French drain systems.
