The main level welcomes you with an impressive living room featuring a fireplace and an equally spacious formal dining room adorned with beautiful custom molding. The dining room flows into an updated kitchen featuring white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous center island perfect for casual meals and gathering with friends and family. A thoughtfully designed addition provides an expansive family room with a second main-level fireplace, oversized windows, and French doors opening to a spectacular screened-in porch.

The full home backup generator guarantees you are never without power! Upstairs, you'll find five generously sized, light-filled bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite addition featuring two walk-in closets, a beautifully appointed ceramic-tile bathroom with a separate tub and shower, and access to a private deck—an ideal setting for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Two additional bathrooms and a conveniently located laundry room complete this level. A walk-up attic provides abundant additional storage. The finished lower-level family room addition offers impressive ceiling heights and an abundance of flexible recreational space. With plenty of room for a billiards or ping-pong table, comfortable seating, and more, it's the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or creating a dedicated recreation area.
