Highlights include two stunning kitchens, sleek bathrooms, a sunken family room with double-sided fireplace, beautiful sunroom, an expanded main floor primary suite, entertainer’s basement, wrap-around deck with hot tub, elevated features like heated floors and geothermal systems, and a long list of custom upgrades. Step inside this home to the bright & open foyer with vaulted ceiling, skylights, and a view upstairs to the second level. The sunken family room features a beautiful stone double-sided fireplace, perfect for those chilly months of the year. From the family room, step up to the adjoining formal dining room; ideal for gatherings and holidays with family and friends. Flow into the bright open floorplan joining the kitchen, dining area, and sunroom; ideal for savoring your everyday routine. This kitchen leaves nothing to be desired with 42-inch cabinets, granite countertops, custom tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator, center island with seating, custom built-in dining table and bench with drawers, and adjoining butler’s pantry/coffee bar nook. Extend your living, dining, and relaxing outside to the inspiring sunroom with heated marble floor and sliding glass doors leading outside to the wrap-around Trex deck. Unwind in the hot tub, gather on the stone patio around the firepit, and enjoy every second in this private back yard oasis with natural stone hardscape, flowering plants and trees including Japanese Maple and Magnolia trees, and the sights and sounds of nature all around you. Back inside, you will find the expanded main level primary suite with custom headboard/accent wall, built-in cabinetry and media unit, and double frosted doors leading to the amazing custom walk-in closet with built-ins. The sleek en-suite bathroom includes dual vanities, make-up area, and cozy heated floors and heat lamp. Completing the main level is the laundry room and a powder room for guests. Upstairs, you will find 4 additional bedrooms (each with ceiling fans) and another sleek full bathroom with double vanity, dual showerheads, air-bubble jet tub, and heated floors. The lower level of this home offers endless possibilities with a full kitchen, full bath, and space for living, dining, and entertaining. Utilize as an entertaining space, a rec room, in-law suite, or however you feel most inspired. Valuable upgrades and features include a professionally installed reverse osmosis water filter system with UV filter, dual geothermal systems, an updated roof, electric panel addition, new fireplace cover, custom window treatments, and more! Tucked on just under 1 acre of land, this custom-designed & beautifully modernized home offers the very best of indoor and outdoor living.
