Bright open foyer and living room area with vaulted ceilings and brick fireplace greet you upon entering the residence, leading you to the new chef's kitchen with walnut cabinets, solid surface counters and stainless steel appliances.

From the family room, take a few steps up to the 2 bedroom in-law suite fully equipped with hardwood floors, separate utility room with full-size washer and dryer, gorgeous Oak kitchen, granite tops, stainless steel appliances, island, dining room and full bath. Back to the main part of the home and foyer area, we go to the bedroom wing on the main level where there are 4 generous bedrooms each with refinished Brazilian Cherry floors. The 2nd floor features the master suite with brick fireplace, huge ceramic bath with dual vanities, shower area and 2 walk-in closets, along with another family room or study space with beautiful cherry floors. The finished walk-out basement is great for an in-law suite, rental efficiency or business. Not only is it accessible from the interior stairs but a separate exterior entrance too. This space is equipped with another kitchen, full bathroom, plenty of storage space, utility room with full-size washer and dryer and a rec room with bar area and a gas-fired stove. Take a walk outside and check-out the huge garage, great for a car buff with oversized garage doors and tall ceilings for a future lift.

There is no monthly solar lease!
