Equipped with top-of-the-line Viking stainless steel appliances, a grand island perfect for both preparation and serving, and custom cabinetry, this kitchen is as functional as it is stunning.

A main-floor office, enclosed by elegant glass French doors, offers a private workspace or can serve as an additional den. Just steps away, a full bath adds an extra layer of convenience. The expansive laundry/mudroom off the garage is both practical and beautifully designed for ultimate storage and organization. The second floor presents an opulent primary suite, featuring plantation shutters, dual ceiling fans, and exquisite custom millwork. The spa-inspired en suite bath offers a dual vanity, a separate soaking tub, and a multi-feature walk-in shower, while the professionally organized walk-in closet ensures ample space for even the most discerning wardrobe. Three additional bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and plantation shutters, offer both comfort and privacy. The well-appointed hall bath features a double vanity and a separate tub/shower area, combining style with functionality.

The lower level is an entertainer's dream, featuring a fully equipped kitchenette, a generous recreation room, a private theater with tiered seating, a cozy library/game nook, a fifth bedroom, and a fourth full bath. This home's unparalleled comfort is further enhanced by dual-zone heating and cooling, two water heaters, and a whole-house generator which provides peace of mind year-round. Step outside to experience an outdoor oasis, where a multi-level blue stone paver patio with a firepit, outdoor bar area, and built-in grilling space beckons for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The lush, mature landscaping creates a serene and private backdrop for this extraordinary outdoor retreat.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
