Charming stone walls and a welcoming front porch set amid a lush and rolling landscape provide curb appeal galore. Inside, a stylish, modern kitchen awaits you with custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, gas fireplace, subway tile backsplash, wet bar, gleaming hardwoods, quartzite counters, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a spacious island and French doors leading to the blue stone patio, perfect for your outdoor entertaining. The open concept floor plan affords the living and dining rooms, both adjacent to the kitchen, the same beautiful views. The gleaming hardwoods are continued through these rooms, while additional architectural details in the form of crown molding, columns and wainscoting offer definition of the space. The first floor Master Suite offers all the luxury you could want with a sitting room featuring a gas fireplace, over-sized windows and marble bath with glass enclosed shower and double sinks. To complete the first floor an additional guest suite offers a private bath and walk-in closet. Moving to the newly expanded second level, you will find a beautifully finished space more than ample for use as a family room,media space and exercise area with one of the 4 bedrooms. The walk-out lower level houses another bedroom, an office with built-in cabinets and a full bath.
