The family room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which connects to an office area with additional built-in cabinets and a desk. Just off the kitchen is a welcoming dining room, perfect for gatherings. The first-floor laundry and mudroom provide easy access to the garage, yard, and a spacious private deck.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a luxurious retreat with a large vanity, a jacuzzi tub, a towel warmer, and a walk-in shower featuring four shower heads and a tile bench. Three additional generously sized bedrooms are located on the second floor, along with a unique sunroom or office space overlooking the front of the home.
The third floor features a princess suite, two additional bedrooms, and ample storage space.
