Hardwood floors and sparkling sunshine fill airy formal rooms that have been beautifully renovated for modern life. In the kitchen, white lacquer cabinets are framed in dark wood, lovely against quartz counters and a pull-up island; stainless appliances and a turquoise glass tile backsplash add shine. Adjoining are an outfitted mudroom, dining room with a window seat, and the fireside living room - all with an easy, open flow. Send the younger set downstairs to the tiled family room, sized for a pool table and exiting to the tree-fringed backyard and patio. A 1st floor study and full bath may accommodate extended-stay guests, while 5 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs include the master suite, which feels like a boutique hotel - its redone bath chic with twin vessel sinks and rubbed bronze hardware. A pergola connects 2 garages accommodating 3 vehicles.
