Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level offers a spacious primary suite with brand new carpeting, a walk-in closet, and a private bath featuring a garden tub and separate shower. The beautifully updated kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring new granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, two pantries, and a bright breakfast area overlooking the backyard.

French doors open to a private library and home office with custom built-in bookcases and cabinetry, providing an ideal space for working from home, reading, or quiet reflection. A formal dining room, powder room, and main floor laundry add convenience and flexibility.

The oversized fifth bedroom offers exceptional versatility with three closets and a charming window seat with built-in storage, making it equally suited as a guest suite, media room, playroom, fitness studio, or additional office. The full walkout basement provides an outstanding opportunity to expand your living space with room for a recreation area, home theater, fitness room, workshop, or additional bedrooms while still offering abundant storage. Recent improvements include a new roof, dual high-efficiency HVAC systems, dual water heaters, cleaned ductwork, refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting throughout the primary suite and upper level, a beautifully remodeled upstairs bath, updated granite countertops, and a remodeled TREX composite deck.
