At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances function with finesse, featuring 36" grey cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, a striking black glass backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in prep desk. The adjoining breakfast room, bathed in natural light, opens to the expansive deck and flows effortlessly into a grand family room. Here, a stately brick fireplace anchors the space, while sliding doors invite indoor-outdoor living at its finest. The main level continues to impress with rich hardwood flooring throughout, a newly updated powder room (2024), and an expanded laundry/mudroom thoughtfully designed to accommodate a custom locker system and bench if desired, where everyday living meets elevated convenience. Upstairs, a luxurious retreat awaits. Four generously sized bedrooms are complemented by two beautifully appointed full baths.

The fully finished lower level extends the home's versatility and entertainment appeal, offering a media lounge, recreation area, bar, game room, and flexible space ideal for a gym or additional storage tailored to fit any lifestyle. Outdoors, the experience continues. A remarkable backyard oasis showcases an oversized deck, outdoor bar, hot tub, and multiple sitting areas crafted for unforgettable gatherings or serene evenings under the stars.
