Amenities include an exquisite master suite with stunning newly remodeled bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a gourmet kitchen, a two-story family room, and two decks with amazing views. Pride of ownership is evident throughout this home that has been meticulously maintained. Approach this stunning home via the winding stamped concrete walkway and take a moment to view the lush professional landscaping! Enter the home and be immediately impressed by the grand two-story foyer that includes a crystal chandelier, hardwood flooring, a closet for your guests’ coats, and a distinctive curved stair case. The dining room has hardwood flooring, a chair rail, and a walk-in bay window. The formal living room also features hardwood flooring plus two nicely sized windows, extra wide crown molding, and a wet bar area. The fabulous family room has much to show off, including a vaulted ceiling, a focal point brick gas fireplace, extra wide crown molding, hardwood floors, and a sliding glass door with a phantom screen and a large circle top window that lends lots of light and showcases the wooded backdrop. The brag-worthy kitchen is a cook’s delight! Its many assets include random-width tile flooring; freshly painted white cabinets with new pulls and under-cabinet lighting; a large island; and granite overlay counters with a beautiful tile backsplash. The newer stainless steel appliances include a smooth-top range; Kitchen Aide double ovens; a warming drawer; a built-in microwave/convection; and a soapstone double sink. The breakfast nook overlooks the family room and features a sliding glass door with a phantom screen that leads to one of the decks. The main level study/bedroom boasts a walk-in bay window, high end new carpeting, a chair rail, and built-in bookcases (or closet for bedroom use). The main level also features a powder room and a laundry room. The serene master bedroom is carpeted and boasts double windows, a ceiling fan with light, a closet in the bedroom area, and double doors that lead to the newly remodeled master bathroom with his and her closets. The spa-like updated master bath includes two spacious walk-in closets, 18x18 tiles, a skylight, pendant lighting, double sinks, new polished nickel faucets, a make-up area, tilt-mirrors, and a spacious shower with a bench and three shower heads.
