Built in 2005, with soaring ceilings, sun-drenched rooms, and fine details throughout. From the coffered ceiling study with walls of built-ins and fireplace, to the primary suite with tray-ceiling bedroom and fantastic walk-in closet, sitting room / office, expansive bath with dual vanities, tiled walk-in shower and jetted tub, and everything in between - this home has room for all your needs and more. There are five additional bedrooms, including one on the main level with full bath, perfect for in-laws or guests.
