Description

A long, tree-lined driveway welcomes you to this exceptional custom Contemporary Cape, beautifully situated on 1.61 acres of landscaped grounds offering a wonderful blend of privacy, elegance and indoor-outdoor living. The backyard is a private oasis, featuring a heated salted in-ground pool, expansive patio and cabana with its own half bath, all surrounded by mature plantings and lush lawns. It's an idyllic setting for summer afternoons, relaxed weekends and evenings spent entertaining. A classic farmer's porch leads into a stunning two-story foyer, where high ceilings, exquisite millwork and hardwood floors with mahogany inlay introduce the craftsmanship and thoughtful design found throughout. The inviting chef's kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring quartz and granite countertops, an oversized center island, generous dining area and walk-in pantry. A formal dining room provides an elegant setting for special occasions, while the spacious family room, with its dry bar and two-sided gas fireplace, opens through French doors to a sunroom with vaulted ceiling overlooking the backyard and pool. Filled with natural light and offering beautiful views throughout the seasons, the sunroom is a favorite place to relax by the fireplace and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The first-floor primary suite is a lovely retreat, with tranquil backyard views, a beautifully appointed en-suite bath and door leading directly to the sunroom. A home office overlooking the wooded front yard offers a quiet space for work or reading. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms, a full bath and abundant storage provide comfort and flexibility. A sizable unfinished area accessed through one of the bedrooms offers potential for future expansion, while space above the garage and an expansive unfinished basement with direct garage access provide even more possibilities. Extensive improvements throughout the home and property include updated kitchen appliances, windows, lighting, landscaping, irrigation, hardscaping and a whole-house Generac generator, while the expansive circular driveway also provides large capacity parking for family and guests as well as a power post for an RV. With its thoughtful design, inviting living spaces and beautiful outdoor setting, this is a home where everyday living feels special.
