Boasting 6,582 finished square feet, this expansive residence combines timeless architectural details with modern updates and an airy, open feel throughout.

The thoughtfully designed interior features numerous recent updates, including a 2024 roof, HVAC system serviced in 2025, 2026 water heater, 2022 washer, 2018 dryer, and extensively updated bathrooms and kitchen in 2026. // The traditional main-level layout begins with a welcoming foyer featuring hardwood flooring and opens to a carpeted formal living room on the right, highlighted by bay windows, while the formal dining room on the left features chair rail molding and a tray ceiling. Continuing through the home, a conveniently located powder room precedes the private study, accessed through French doors and finished with hardwood flooring and direct access to the deck. A hallway accented by elegant columns and a well-appointed butler's pantry creates a graceful transition into the carpeted family room, where a gas fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry provides a warm and inviting focal point. // The beautifully updated eat-in kitchen combines style and functionality, featuring stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator replaced in 2023, dishwasher replaced in 2024, and microwave replaced in 2022, along with quartzite countertops, a center island, a gray subway tile backsplash, rich wood cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and hardwood flooring. A cozy breakfast area offers a comfortable spot for casual dining and flows into the sunroom, where distinctive bay architecture and vaulted ceilings create a bright and inviting space with direct exterior access. A nearby laundry room, pantry, and convenient access to the garage complete the main level. // Upstairs, four generously sized carpeted bedrooms and three full bathrooms provide exceptional living space and privacy. The expansive primary suite features a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a private en-suite bathroom appointed with a corner soaking tub, separate shower, private water closet, and dual vanities. One of the secondary bedrooms offers the added luxury of a private en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The remaining two bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed dual-entry bathroom, with each bedroom enjoying its own dedicated vanity and sink area. // The finished walk-out lower level expands the home's versatility with an expansive recreation room and game area. A fully equipped second kitchen, complete with a refrigerator replaced in 2024, adds exceptional convenience for entertaining. A dedicated home gym, versatile bonus room with an attached bathroom and closet, spacious storage room, and utility room provide additional functionality and flexibility. // Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a spacious, low-maintenance composite deck overlooking the expansive grounds and a lower stamped-concrete patio providing additional space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
