The home feels chic and contemporary w/ a kitchen that features white cabinets, quartz countertops and backsplash and luxury appliances. A large outdoor deck overlooks a professionally landscaped backyard with new fence and two-car detached garage. Open floor plan allows for flexible living with custom mudroom, 1st floor office, formal dining room/living room with gas fireplace and family room. Upstairs features a primary suite with his/her closets, two generously sized guest bedrooms and hallway bathroom. The 3rd floor is perfect for additional office, bedroom or playroom. Impressive lower-level was redesigned with recreation room, guest bedroom, brand new bathroom, laundry room and ample storage. Additional improvements include: new trim work and doors throughout, top-to-bottom painting, custom window treatments, new can lighting throughout, remote control blinds, all new landscaping, and much more. No detail has been overlooked in this charming, well-located residence.
