Perched on edge of a cul-de-sac, this prime positioned home enjoys peaceful surroundings thanks to no-thru traffic. Land scape beds and ornamental trees front this stately white siding/blue shutters home with column-edged deep recessed covered front porch. 2 decorative windows sit high above front door, while elegant stain glass side windows flank glass-pane storm door/blue front door that lead into 2-story foyer. Step inside to neutral-hued paint, soaring ceilings, honey-dipped hardwood floors and open spacious floorplan. To right is beige carpeted just-right size sitting room, where sun streams in through triple window with transom above and is inviting space to entertain or relax. Opposite side of door is front office or even 4th BR that is also beige carpeted, touts shelve-lined wall and is equally sun-washed and quiet. It’s a place to catch up on emails or the latest book! Past office is hall that juts off foyer and leads to spacious laundry room, lovely PR and access to 2-car garage. Tucked-away amenities yet easily accessible! From foyer walk past lovely exposed turned staircase with tile-top ledge, perfect for displaying tall vase or
assortment of potted plants that one can admire from just steps inside front door. Dramatically,
floorplan opens to immense space where triangle of rooms interconnects and blend together to create
easy movement living space. Kitchen features handsome oak cabinets that are paired with cream/SS
appliances, while tan-colored countertops reflect similar color palette as the almond colored easy-to-
clean floors. 4 striking pendant lights highlight wrap-around countertop with built-in shelves, which
opens to both DR and FR! DR is bathed in natural light and is open and airy with plenty of room for China
closet/hutch. It’s a sunlit space designed to enjoy family dinners or entertain special guests! Hardwood
floors stretch from DR into FR, where plush beige carpeting resumes and creates comfortable,
approachable space. FR is generously proportioned and abundantly bright with vaulted ceiling and
double window on back wall which matches dual window on DR’s back wall. Deep, wide alcove offers
place for big screen TV or family armoire. It’s easy to imagine unwinding here after weekday dinners or
just before weekend outings, watching the newest movie or the latest game! French doors, nestled
between DR and FR, boast stain glass transom window above which is echoed from front door to create
balance and continuity. Tucked off FR is coveted 1st floor primary suite that is sequestered and serene!

luxurious! Dual sink cabinet vanity, roomy shower and sizable jacuzzi blend to offer everything you need
and want! Unfinished LL is footprint of main level with a promise of numerous possibilities. Plan a
