Step inside to discover gleaming hardwood floors, a soaring two-story foyer, and a show-stopping chandelier that sets a grand and welcoming tone. A beautifully designed see-through staircase banister adds an airy, modern touch while maintaining the home's timeless character. The main living area is a true showpiece-boasting a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light and offer sweeping views of the serene backyard. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening by the cozy fireplace or hosting a lively gathering, this space is equal parts inviting and impressive. Flowing seamlessly into the formal dining room, you'll find the perfect setting for everything from holiday dinners to everyday meals. The heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, thoughtfully designed with white cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a massive center island with ample seating-ideal for casual breakfasts or catching up over coffee. The adjacent sunlit dining area is framed by more beautiful windows that bring the outdoors in, making every mealtime feel special. Step outside onto the expansive patio and enjoy al fresco dining surrounded by the beauty of your fenced-in backyard oasis. With towering mature trees offering privacy and shade, this space is perfect for barbecues, backyard games, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets. You'll love entertaining out here-or simply enjoying the peaceful escape it offers. Back inside, the main-level mudroom/laundry room is as stylish as it is practical, featuring built-in cabinetry and a conveniently located half bath. Just a few steps up, you'll find the private Primary Suite retreat, occupying its own level for added serenity. Vaulted ceilings and large windows create a light and airy feel, while the luxurious en suite bath offers a double-sink vanity, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed walk-in shower-a true spa-like experience waiting for you at the end of the day. Upstairs, three additional spacious bedrooms share a large, well-appointed full bath, offering room for family, guests, or a home office setup. On the lower level, a large family room provides a fantastic casual living space-perfect for movie nights, playdates, or hanging out with teens.
