Property Description
Inside, a stone-floored foyer offers an immediate glimpse of the home's thoughtfully designed living spaces. Rich hardwood floors extend throughout both the first and second levels, lending warmth and continuity throughout the home. The formal living room is both sophisticated and welcoming, with moody navy walls, extensive custom shelving, and a centrally positioned fireplace that creates a natural gathering place.
A wide cased opening connects to the dining area and continues into the heart of the home—a stunning sun-filled kitchen where sea glass-hued cabinetry pairs beautifully with white quartzite countertops and brushed gold hardware. Skylights, a wall of windows, and French doors bathe the space in natural light while opening to a deep flagstone terrace designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. A suite of premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, four-burner gas range with griddle, farmhouse sink, and illuminated display cabinetry, combines exceptional function with timeless style.
Just beyond, the spacious family room features a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, decorative paneling, and sliding doors that open to a second terrace shaded by mature canopy trees. A generously sized mudroom with family entrance provides direct access to the attached garage, while a beautifully appointed powder room with vessel sink completes the main level.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat. The bright white bath features a seated shower, washstand-height vanity, and window for natural light. Exceptional storage includes a wall of double closets flanking the suite entrance, along with an additional fully outfitted closet providing exceptional storage space. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath with tub shower and ample hallway storage; select family bedrooms feature carpeting underfoot, offering an added layer of comfort and coziness.
The lower level is designed for the rhythms of everyday life, offering a large recreation and television area with plenty of room for exercise equipment, hobbies, or play. A spacious laundry room is equally well considered, featuring lacquered cabinetry and expansive folding counters.
The backyard is truly one of the home's most enchanting features. A stone terrace spans the full length of the house, creating multiple spaces for dining, entertaining, and relaxing. Beyond, a storybook archway draped in climbing roses opens to lush gardens and an exceptionally deep rear lawn. With room for play, gatherings around a fire pit, and convenient shed storage, the grounds offer a rare sense of space, beauty, and possibility.
Beautifully updated yet rich in character, this is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly welcoming—a truly idyllic setting for everyday living.
