The adjoining sun-filled family room is great for movie or game night and showcases beautiful bay windows, tons of built-in cabinetry and sliding glass doors that lead to the huge deck. A spacious, convenient powder room completes this level, making it perfect for entertaining as well as everyday living. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to find four generous bedrooms! The spacious primary ensuite is a serene retreat showcasing a dressing area with walk in closet and a large, classic, spa-like, light-filled ensuite bath with a skylight, beautiful hexagonal and subway tile work, and a separate soaking tub and shower. The three additional bedrooms on this level are large and bright with tall windows and deep closets and the newer family bath boasts gorgeous marble and subway tile as well as a Bain soaking tub and completes this level. The third floor attic houses the spacepak and provides additional easily accessible storage space. The high and dry lower level has even more space with a large recreational area (second family room?) ; a spacious fifth bedroom and a convenient full bath (teen or guest's haven!) ; a spacious clean laundry room, and a separate room with mechanicals and tons of additional storage. Al-fresco living and entertaining is a dream in this home with the huge deck for three season BBQs and dining; a separate patio; wide side yard for your green thumb and a shaded backyard with a beautiful tree.
