About This Home

As of March 2012

Upon entering this stylish home, you will be captivated by the warm glow of hardwood flooring, as well as expansive windows that allow streaming sun to brighten rooms and cast soothing shadows throughout the day. The open floor plan of this spacious home allows for small as well as large-scale entertaining. The elegantly appointed kitchen offers a granite topped center island with breakfast bar, gorgeous cherry cabinetry and six-burner gas cook top sure to please the most discriminating chef. Additional delights include numerous decks, an extraordinary double-sided stone fireplace, walk-out finished lower level and a generously-sized owner's retreat complete with jetted tub and stall shower.
