The owner's suite offers a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The two additional bedrooms are generously sized, each with ample closet space. The hall bathroom features a shower/tub combination. Both bathrooms have been remodeled with stylish marble hexagon tile flooring and Carrera marble-topped vanities. Stain-grade moldings are found throughout the home, adding a touch of elegance. An added bonus is the versatile mudroom, which could easily serve as an office or additional living space. The open floor plan creates an inviting atmosphere, with a stunning kitchen featuring newer stainless steel appliances, a ceramic-top stove with convection oven, soft-close cabinetry with a hand-rubbed glaze, granite countertops, and an oversized kitchen island with ample eating space. A spacious pantry provides plenty of storage. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living rooms, making it perfect for entertaining.
