This meticulously crafted home offers 4 bedrooms plus an optional 5th bedroom in the finished basement, 3 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, a 2-car garage accessed from a secure driveway that provides additional parking, and multiple outdoor areas including an incredible roof deck. The exterior makes a bold first impression with a recessed entry framed by a towering masonry and brick façade. Inside, the first floor welcomes you with rich hardwood floors and a statement wrought iron staircase that immediately set the tone for the home’s elevated yet comfortable feel. The custom foyer features built-ins for added function, while a powder room, coat closet, and direct entry to the garage complete the level. Upstairs, the second floor opens to a dramatic living and dining space designed for effortless entertaining, highlighted by soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, and a floor-to-ceiling tiled fireplace that anchors the room. Sliding glass doors lead to a private terrace, creating a seamless indoor and outdoor connection. A wet bar adds convenience for hosting, and a discreet powder room sits just off the main space.

Gaggenau stainless steel appliances, including a double range, built-in microwave and warming drawer, are paired with a farmhouse sink and tile backsplash to complete this beautifully finished space. The third floor is dedicated to a hotel-style primary suite and a generously sized rear bedroom that is ideal for a nursery or office. The primary bedroom is bright and spacious, featuring tall windows and dual walk-in closets. Its spa-like ensuite bathroom serves as a true retreat, adorned with a floating double vanity, heated floors, high-gloss cabinetry, striking tilework, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed multi-jet rainfall shower with a built-in bench.
