Hardwood floors flow seamlessly through the spacious main level, beginning in the elegant oversized living room, which features a wood-burning fireplace and built-in cabinets with glass fronts and accent lighting. Abundant natural light fills the space through two sets of French doors, leading to a stunning screened-in patio and creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The heart of the home is a beautifully designed chef's kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, including a new dishwasher, stove, and double ovens (2026), ample white cabinetry, granite countertops, and a new backsplash. A charming eat-in nook with built-in bench seating is framed by a large picture window and opens directly to the sunroom, offering a comfortable, light-filled space perfect for both everyday moments and relaxed entertaining. Just off the kitchen is a built-in desk area and a stunning formal dining room showcasing thick crown molding, wainscoted walls, and a built-in hutch with accent lighting. A private office, featuring beautiful millwork, custom built-ins, and a fireplace, offers incredible flexibility, with the potential to serve as a first-floor bedroom complete with an attached full bath, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. A mudroom with open locker-style cubbies completes the main level with both style and practicality. The second level is highlighted by a luxurious primary suite, featuring a completely remodeled en-suite bath (2025 by Hogan), offering dual quartz-topped vanities, an oversized glass-enclosed shower, and a new large walk-in closet with built-ins. The primary suite also enjoys private access to an enclosed heated balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. Two additional spacious bedrooms on this level feature generous closets and share a Jack-and-Jill bath. A convenient laundry room with a sink completes the second floor. The third level offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious loft, recreation room, and a fourth bedroom with en-suite bath, all featuring cathedral ceilings, closets, and custom built-ins. The finished lower level expands the home's living and entertaining spaces, featuring a spacious family room anchored by a striking stone-surround fireplace.
