A formal dining room, generous front hall, two powder rooms, and informal entry foyer space complete the main level. The upper level boasts a serene primary suite with adjoining sitting room or office. A spa-like bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, marble shower and ample storage flows easily into two oversized walk-in closets. Three additional bedroom suites on the upper level provide luxurious accommodations for family and guests. A generous laundry room completes the upper level. The walk-out lower level offers a spacious recreation room, fifth bedroom, full bathroom, second laundry room, ample finished storage space, second kitchen and a versatile space that can be used as a gym or media room. Perfect space for long term guests or live in staff. Situated on a magnificent half-acre, corner lot, the property's outdoor spaces are equally impressive.
