As an added bonus, this home is the only home in the Mercer Gate community with public water connection. The graceful entryway opens to a two-story foyer flanked by an elegant dining room to the left with a cozy fireplace and living room/den to the right that steps down to a beautiful private study. The wood flooring has an in-laid border that adds a sophisticated detail. A butler s pantry connects the living room/den with the family room and provides easy access to the wine refrigerator for entertaining guests. The spacious kitchen has ample custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a built-in Viking range and double oven.

The family room features reclaimed barn wood floors and a handsome stone fireplace with French doors opening to the private backyard. Beyond the family room is a sunroom surrounded with oversized windows, 14' ceilings, and additional pool access. The powder room was renovated with wainscoting, new fixtures, a chandelier and new tile floor.
