The home is designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living and, with its southern exposure, is bathed in natural light. Generous, well-proportioned spaces create a seamless flow throughout, enhanced by hardwood floors spanning the first floor and much of the second floor, transom windows, smooth 9 ft ceilings and a two-story entry with a turned stairwell. The functional floor plan includes a gracious dining room with bay window, a refined library with custom built-ins, eat-in kitchen and a spacious family room anchored by a wood burning fireplace. A separate living room with 2nd fireplace (gas logs) is currently used as a den to provide an additional inviting retreat for relaxed gatherings or quiet evenings. The updated cook's kitchen (2012) is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry with wavy glass accents and le mans pull out shelving, a central island, wet bar area, bar refrigerator, granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including convection wall ovens and induction cooktop and french doors to the side yard. The main-level primary suite offers both privacy and convenience, featuring a spa-inspired bath with radiant heated floors. Two powder rooms on the first floor are available for guests. Upstairs there are three additional bedrooms - two sharing a well-appointed & updated bathroom, while a third enjoys its own private ensuite. A spacious and flexible loft area is ideal for a play space, fitness area, or creative studio, and is complemented by a dedicated office or bonus room and access to a secondary rear stairwell. This home is set on a prime corner lot, making a striking impression with a circular driveway and an additional drive leading to the side-entry garage. The outdoor living experience features a private backyard with garden shed, an enchanting side garden with a central fountain and walking paths and a covered brick courtyard patio (new awning) designed for gracious entertaining. Extras include central vacuum, irrigation system, EV car charger, Leaf Guard rain gutter, and rain barrels for water collection.
