Step inside to a bright, open main floor - featuring vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light throughout. A private study with French doors has been thoughtfully upgraded with a custom dry bar and lighted built-in cabinetry, ideal for working or entertaining from home. The spacious 2 story great room features a wall of windows overlooking the beautiful yard, crown molding, and an upgraded, heat-producing enclosed gas fireplace. The formal dining room with wainscoting, bay window and hardwood flooring exudes elegance for those special occasions. The chef's kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, an island snack bar, stainless appliances, gas cooktop, built-in double ovens and a newer built-in wall pantry with pull-out shelving. The spacious first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, complete with tray ceiling, bay window and brand new carpet. The primary bath has been beautifully updated with a large, tile shower and heated flooring. A mudroom addition in 2017 and an updated, enclosed laundry room add everyday convenience. Upstairs, you'll enjoy the landing with built-in bookcase, three generously-sized bedrooms with ample closet space, and two full bathrooms. The finished walkout lower level offers additional living space wired for surround sound (speakers excluded) plus a large bedroom, home office, wet bar, electric fireplace with custom mantel, LVP flooring (2024), and a fully upgraded bathroom (2025). Outdoor living is absolutely delightful with an expanded Timber Tech AZEK composite deck ("engineered to be cooler to the touch" than other PVC decking) added in 2020, featuring an ornamental privacy screen, lighted steps, ceiling fans, and a guttered system to keep the paver patio below dry. Both the deck and patio are plumbed for gas grilling. The beautifully landscaped yard with underground sprinkler system is truly gorgeous, highlighted by newer plantings added in the rear yard in 2023. Additional updates include exterior paint in 2025, along with HVAC and water heater systems that are less than five years old. A brand new roof and whole house generator were installed in 2025, providing peace of mind for years to come.
