About This Home

From the moment you step inside, this exceptional home makes an impression—where timeless architectural details, refined finishes, and beautifully designed spaces come together to create a home that feels both sophisticated and inviting.

The gracious keeping room welcomes you with a striking coffered ceiling and fresh, updated finishes, while the formal dining room, accented by an elegant tray ceiling and stylish new lighting, provides the perfect setting for intimate dinners or memorable celebrations.

At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen effortlessly combines style and function. Gleaming quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, expansive prep space, and a gas range create a space equally suited for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

The dramatic two-story great room is truly the centerpiece of the home. A soaring wall of windows fills the space with natural light, while the fireplace creates a warm focal point and beautifully refinished hardwood floors add richness and character throughout the main level.

The expansive owner’s suite offers a private sanctuary with room for substantial furnishings and a spa-inspired bath designed for relaxation. Enjoy a jetted soaking tub, spacious walk-in shower, dual vanities, exceptional storage, and even a cleverly concealed closet—one of the home's unexpected touches. Generously sized secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the same level and feature ample closet space.

The finished lower level takes versatility to another level, offering an impressive recreation and entertaining area, kitchenette, and deluxe full bath with walk-in shower. Whether envisioned as a private guest retreat, multi-generational living quarters, game-day destination, or an incredible space for entertaining, the possibilities are exceptional.

Outdoor living is just as inviting. Gather around the built-in firepit on the beautiful paver patio, entertain friends beneath the stars, or simply enjoy a quiet evening at home.

With impressive architectural details, abundant natural light, beautifully updated finishes, and multiple spaces designed for gathering, relaxing, and entertaining, this home offers more than exceptional square footage—it offers a lifestyle. Sophisticated without sacrificing comfort and spacious without losing its sense of warmth, this is a home that truly deserves to be experienced in person.
