About This Home
Welcome home to this sprawling, meticulously updated Colonial that perfectly blends luxury, scale, and multi-purpose living. Completely remodeled in 2022, the property boasts major capital upgrades including a brand-new roof, windows, and high-efficiency HVAC systems with central AC. The main residence is defined by its soaring high ceilings and an expansive layout designed for both grand entertaining and quiet productivity. At the heart of the home is a true chef’s kitchen, fully equipped with a premium THOR range, a sleek French door refrigerator, and a massive walk-through butler's pantry. For formal gatherings, the elegant living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and opens directly into a sunlit three-seasons porch. Additional living spaces include a dedicated home office/study and a large secondary living room perfect for media or relaxation. Upstairs, you will find four bedrooms and three bathrooms, highlighted by a spacious owner’s suite with a spa-like soaking tub and walk-in shower, alongside a secondary guest suite complete with its own private bath. Bridging the main home and the private living quarters is a bonus room currently utilized as a home gym, which features a secured door to maintain maximum privacy between the wings. The fully independent in-law suite—also beautifully remodeled in 2022—features two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and its own dedicated laundry room to mirror the main house's amenities. Engineered for true independence, the suite includes its own separate entrance, dedicated parking, and independent electrical service. Situated on a generous, partially fenced corner lot, the exterior offers plenty of privacy and curb appeal, rounded out by a large storage shed at the rear of the property. This rare estate offers unparalleled versatility, modern luxury, and true dual-living capability.
