The staircase is simply stunning and refinished hardwood floors perfectly complement a palette of contemporary colors in the classically trimmed formal rooms, but there is so much more to come! French doors and a window bay make the home office as quiet as it is sunny. Skylights also brighten up the two-story family room with a fireplace at one end and a quartz-topped wet bar at the other. Thick quartz also tops the island in the totally refreshed kitchen for a unified look throughout the open layout. Double Electrolux ovens join a discreet black stainless steel dishwasher set within shaker-style cabinetry and a wide triple window looks out across the brand new deck to green common space beyond. While hosting guests outside is delightful, the newly finished basement is designed for good times with a whole crowd of friends. Everyone will want to pull a seat up to the zinc-wrapped bar, which just gets better with age. Ice-maker, wine fridge - it’s all here, surrounded by cool metallic accents. Also with a gym and playroom served by a full bath, as well as a walk-in cedar closet, you’re sure to enjoy the lower level on a daily basis. Upstairs, streamlined custom shutters and modern paint colors continue in the main suite with soaring ceilings throughout the bedroom, sitting room and skylit bathroom. Two additional all-white full baths are shared by four more bedrooms. Updates to the HVAC systems, refurbished hardscaping and EV charging capabilities in the 3-bay garage are further improvements on a very lengthy list.
