About This Home

As of August 2019

What a beautifully updated and gracious home! The sellers have lived here happily for 17 years. (See attached extensive list of improvements.) The entire rear of the house is an open, flexible floor plan including a bay window and vaulted ceiling in the family room. In addition, a granite countered updated kitchen with breakfast bar, a breakfast room/hearth room, and two fireplaces are part of this area. There are wood floors throughout the first floor except for new ceramic tile in the laundry. Plantation shutters abound. There is a vaulted master suite with stunning Carrara marble luxury bath. What was an unfinished LL, is now a rec room, wet bar, exercise room, half bath and two large storage closets. The finished LL encompasses the same living area as the main floor. County records don't seem to include this finished lower level. The back yard has a beautifully landscaped terraced garden with several lawn spaces, a patio and is fully fenced. The roof is 4 years old and HVAC is 5.
