Quality, space, and amenities like these would be difficult to recreate at today’s construction costs. From the brick-front exterior and landscaped setting to the custom flooring, cabinetry, and built-ins throughout, this impressive home was designed with craftsmanship, comfort, and entertaining in mind. The grand open foyer introduces the home’s dramatic scale and leads to a private office with French doors, built-in cabinetry, and an integrated desk. The formal dining room is conveniently positioned near the kitchen, while the massive great room features a soaring two-story wall of windows, abundant natural light, and custom built-in cabinetry. The spacious kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, a center island, breakfast bar, pantry, and generous workspace. It opens to a bright breakfast room with direct access to the deck overlooking the fenced backyard, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or enjoying the peaceful acreage setting.
