A sixth bedroom currently serves as a richly finished library with floor-to-ceiling built-ins, solid wood doors, and a coffered wood ceiling. The kitchen offers generous space and natural light, with granite countertops, ample cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a vaulted octagonal breakfast nook surrounded by windows-overlooking the deck and offering peaceful views of the pond and cascading waterfall.

The pond is bordered by mild natural wetland, adding to the property's privacy and peaceful ambiance. Outdoor living spaces include a deck off the family room and kitchen, a private balcony off the main-level primary suite, and a brick patio accessed from the walk-out lower level-all designed for seamless indoor-outdoor enjoyment.
