Gracious formal living and dining rooms adorned with refined moldings and a warm, classic aesthetic are ideal for holiday celebrations, family gatherings, and entertaining. Designed with family life and functionality in mind the floor plan flows smoothly between spaces. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, cabinets galore, generous workspace, and a center island that seamlessly connects to the breakfast area, making busy mornings and entertaining friends effortless. French doors off the breakfast area open to a covered veranda overlooking a secluded, fenced backyard surrounded by mature trees—perfect for outdoor play, summer barbecues, or simply unwinding in a peaceful setting. Back inside, the impressive two-story family room, with its soaring ceiling, skylights, abundant windows, and striking brick wood-burning fireplace, creates a welcoming place for everyone to gather. The sun-drenched conservatory provides the perfect space for a playroom, a music room, or a quiet retreat. The private first-floor study is an ideal work-from-home office. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a private retreat with a generous dressing area, large bath, and a versatile bonus room ideal as a fitness room, expanded closet, or cozy sitting area or just about anything life demands. A adjacent private ensuite bedroom is perfect for guests or older children, while two additional bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath with a double-sink vanity, making busy school mornings a little easier. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility with a full bath, expansive recreation area, office or hobby room, and abundant storage—offering endless possibilities for a media room, playroom, home gym, or teen hangout.
