The hearth room is filled with natural light from the custom windows, has vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, built-in shelving, and creates an amazing open concept with the kitchen and breakfast area, as well as the private stone patio, great for the BBQ or outdoor dining, and yard big enough for the swing set.

The main level also features a generous primary suite with coffered ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath with an oversized soaking tub, a large shower with a bench, dual vanity sinks, and a private commode. The main level also has a large executive office, a cheery laundry/mudroom off the side garage entry, and a guest half bath.

The finished lower level seems endless and features a luxurious wet bar with an undermount sink, a granite bar top, and a wine and beverage fridge that opens to a huge living area. Additionally, a fifth guest bedroom suite with a full bath, another recreation area with an adorable, tucked-away life-size dollhouse, a sports training/workout area, and an abundance of storage make this basement the end-all, be-all. That, combined with the incredible ceiling heights of the main level, gives this home a very large, open, airy footprint. Plantation shutters and hardwood floors are just a few of the home’s timeless touches.
