At the heart of the home is a stunning, oversized chef's kitchen, fully equipped with maple cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dual convection ovens, a beverage fridge, trash compactor, and a center island cooktop with a dedicated vent hood. The large breakfast bar seamlessly connects to the expansive family room, where vaulted ceilings, four skylights, and a wood-burning fireplace with a stone surround and floating mantel create a dramatic and inviting space. Sliding doors lead to a deck overlooking the landscaped backyard with an additional patio seating area-ideal for outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Three spacious bedrooms share an updated hall bath (2016), while the show-stopping primary suite feels like a private retreat.
