Every space reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and high-end design. The main level features a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath and custom-shelved walk-in closet, plus two additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a flex/bonus room perfect for an office or playroom. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, a large island, custom hood, and premium stainless appliances—ideal for entertaining or everyday living. Upstairs, a private guest suite with full bath and a spacious bonus room offer comfort and flexibility. Step outside to a screened porch overlooking the wooded backyard, where you can enjoy year-round tranquility. Additional highlights include a three-car garage, Carrara marble finishes, tankless water heater, smart home technology, black seamless gutters with guards, and custom wood shelving throughout closets and pantry.
