This one-story masterpiece, nestled in a serene setting offers an open concept living experience designed to capture the essence of light and space. A circular drive gracefully escorts you to a classic pergola covered front porch encircling majestic trees that stand proudly at the heart of the front yard. Through the glass door, you enter an elegant entrance hall that divides the home, with inviting living rooms on the right and tranquil bedrooms to the left. The living room and dining area are interchangeable, the dining room has a fireplace flanked by French doors to the deck while the living room boasts a large bay window with custom bookcases on either side of the entrance to the adjacent study. The study has two sets of glass French doors for privacy and a French door flanked by bookcases for easy front porch access. The generous size family room boasts a vaulted ceiling with an abundance of windows that invite streams of golden sunlight to dance across the hardwood floors. A second fireplace is framed by custom floor-to-ceiling bookcases with open shelving ready to display your collectables. The large open plan kitchen is a true chef’s delight with stainless steel appliances, soapstone counters, a large center island and breakfast bar mixed white and maple wood cabinets. The breakfast room has wrap-around windows with a built-in banquette and a French door that opens to the rear deck, creating a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living. Step into the spacious, well- appointed mudroom from either the side porch or two-car garage, and you will immediately appreciate the functional design which features custom built cubbies, a long custom bench and a series of hooks and overhead storage ensuring everything has its place. The primary bedroom is a retreat with a vaulted ceiling and a set of French doors that open to a private deck. The primary bathroom offers a spa-like tranquility with a separate shower and soaking tub. Three more bedrooms are in this wing, one is an ensuite with a set of French doors to a deck and the other two bedrooms share a hall bathroom. The lower level is finished and perfect for play, media or gym space. Outside the magic continues with 1.43 acres of a park-like yard. The expansive rear deck and stone patio are designed for effortless entertaining into the evening where gathering under the stars will make memories. Whether you’re relaxing in the sunlit living rooms, cooking in the open concept kitchen, or enjoying a quiet moment under the wisteria dripped pergola, this home is one for future enjoyment.
