Upon entering, you are greeted by expansive, light-filled rooms accentuated by floor-to-ceiling windows.

The main level showcases gracious formal living and dining rooms, a sophisticated office, and an impressive great room. Featuring 22-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and expansive windows overlooking the lush backyard, the great room serves as the heart of the home.

Adjacent to this space is the renovated open-concept kitchen and breakfast room, creating an ideal setting for both daily living and grand entertaining. The gourmet kitchen, a chef’s dream, boasts top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and Quartz countertops.

A flex room with a dedicated en-suite bathroom sits just off the kitchen, perfect as a secondary home office or main-level guest suite. Completing this level is a spacious screened-in porch, offering a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living.

The opulent primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a fully renovated, spa-inspired bathroom, an expansive walk-in closet, a hidden safe, and a secret room for added security. Additionally, the suite boasts a private balcony and a serene sitting area with a gas fireplace, perfect for unwinding in style.

Beyond the impressive owner’s suite you will find three secondary bedrooms and two newly renovated full baths, a convenient laundry room equipped with new Whirlpool front-loading washer and dryer set, as well as a rear staircase.

The completely finished lower level presents endless opportunities for entertainment and relaxation. This level includes a private home theater, a well-appointed home gym, an in-law suite, and additional flex rooms, one of which is ideally suited for a wine cellar. The expansive recreation room and bar area is perfect for creating a personalized sports bar, complete with space for a poker or pool table.
