The living room opens to a bright sunroom with a stone-surround gas fireplace and slate flooring, or to an expansive composite deck with multiple seating areas and stairs to the backyard, perfect for entertaining. The spacious dining area connects to a stunning kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances, ornate custom cabinetry with panel inserts, and gleaming granite countertops.

The walk-out lower level offers a large family room with wood floors, a recreation/sitting area, a guest bedroom with bead board accents, a stylish full bath, laundry room, and access to a second spacious deck overlooking the peaceful yard. Additional features include an asphalt driveway with stamped paver edging, paver walkway, covered front entry, central vacuum, built-in storage shed under the sunroom, composite front porch, and detailed trim work throughout. Some furnishings will be left behind and will be transferred on a separate bill of sale.
