The family room is both inviting and impressive, featuring custom built-in cabinetry and shelving that provide generous storage and display space while framing the room beautifully. A convenient wet bar, recessed lighting, warm wood floors, and an easy flow to adjacent living and dining areas make this an ideal space for everyday living and relaxed entertaining. Extending the living space outdoors, the composite deck offers a peaceful vantage point overlooking the grounds—perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the property.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for both daily use and hosting. Custom wood cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large center island with seating create a highly functional layout, while skylights and recessed lighting flood the space with natural light. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, where walls of windows frame breathtaking views of the rear yard and pool beyond—making every meal feel connected to the outdoors.
The dining room offers a stunning setting for gatherings of any size, with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and direct access to the porch, enhancing the home’s effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The living room provides a more intimate yet equally refined space, centered around a fireplace and surrounded by oversized windows that frame lush garden views and fill the room with soft natural light.
The primary bedroom is a serene retreat, generously sized and complemented by an adjoining sitting room that offers flexible use as a private lounge, office, or reading nook. Large windows bring in abundant light and tranquil views, creating a calm and restorative atmosphere. The primary bathroom features classic tilework, a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities, with a unique direct connection to the guest bedroom—allowing for a flexible and thoughtful layout ideal for guests, family, or a private secondary suite. Completing this level is an additional bedroom/office with access to the third floor loft - a versatile bonus space ideal for a home office, creative studio, lounge, or additional living area. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and exposed beams enhance the architectural character while flooding the space with natural light.
The rear of the property opens to the home’s beloved “back 40,” where expansive green space, mature trees, and frequent wildlife sightings create a sense of complete seclusion. A newer Trex deck offers the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, while the grounds provide ample space for recreation, relaxation, and unforgettable gatherings by the pool.
