The formal dining room, featuring crown molding and panel mold wainscotting is perfect for gatherings. The kitchen is a true masterpiece, boasting 42" cabinets with handcrafted stained glass panels and quartzite countertop with full height backsplash. At its heart, is a stunning 9 foot custom island, crafted from architectural salvage pieces, including its reclaimed bowling alley wood top, giving it both esthetic and functional appeal. The oversized island has loads of storage space and a cabinet that includes a combination microwave/convection oven/airfryer. The kitchen is also equipt with high end antique style appliances NEW in 2021, and an antique pantry door for added vintage charm. The open concept family room features a gas fireplace with custom molding and unique antique tin molding, creating a warm and invited atmosphere. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a private sitting room. Enjoy your own serene balcony with deck. The primary bath is a spa-like retreat, featuring granite countertops, a double vanity with dual sinks, a soaking jacuzzi tub, and a separate tiled shower with frameless glass for added elegance.

This bathroom is thoughtfully laid out with a separate shower/toliet room, providing privacy and convenience for a shared space. The finished basement offers even MORE living space, featuring a 4th bedroom and additional flexible spaces perfect for a home office, gym, playroom, or movie room. This level provides endless possibilities to suite your lifestyle.
