First Level
The walkway to the front entrance of the house is surrounded by lush mature landscaping. The panelled front door with sidelights welcomes visitors into the home’s sunny and grand two-story entrance foyer. The central feature of the foyer is its stately staircase with oak treads and risers which elegantly unites the lower level with the bedroom areas on the second floor. The foyer features two coat closets, generous wood trim accents, and solid oak floors. United with adjacent rooms by open lines of sight, the foyer flows easily into the other rooms on the first level, including the living room, study, family room, and kitchen.
The spacious living room features oak floors, faux fireplace with exquisite mantel and surround, and wall and ceiling trim. The living room overlooks the front yard through two oversized windows. The wide doorway to this room is accented by dentil molding.
Directly across from the living room is an office/study with neutral carpet and beautiful built-ins. It overlooks the front yard through a bay window with a window seat providing a comfortable space for a home office or home schooling classroom.
The dining room is adjacent to the living room and features trim and floors that mirror those in the living room, using symmetry to accent the beauty of the formal entertaining spaces. The dining room has a chandelier, oak floors, and is large enough to accommodate a large dining table and other furniture. The dining room overlooks the backyard through its triple-hung oversized windows, and connects with the cooking area of the kitchen.
The large eat-in kitchen features custom wood cabinetry with moldings, under cabinet lighting ,brushed nickel hardware, neutral tile backsplash, oversized stainless steel sink with brushed nickel faucet with separate sprayer, chandelier over the eat-in area, recessed lighting, walk-in pantry closet, work desk area, and oak floors. The kitchen’s large center island features a breakfast bar and cabinet storage. The kitchen connects to the family room, dining room, laundry/mudroom, basement, and has sliding glass doors leading to the patio and backyard. An informal back staircase with neutral berber carpeting discreetly connects the kitchen with the secondary bedrooms on the second floor to quiet the footfalls of hungry insomniacs.
The kitchen flows seamlessly into the sunny 2-story family room with a wall of oversized and architectural windows overlooking the backyard and patio, recessed lighting, gas fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone surround accented by a painted wood mantel and stone raised hearth, ceiling fan, berber carpet and beautiful picture-frame wall trim accents.
Around the corner from the family/kitchen area, connected by a short hallway with another closet, is the enormous media/party room with state-of-the-art home entertainment system with a projection screen TV. Another set of built-ins offers practical storage space which conceals equipment as well as cozy window seats overlooking the front yard. The electric fireplace adds to the ambiance of the space, inviting a range of activities from cozy movie nights to neighborhood game parties (tested and approved!). And, if the movie gets boring one can check out the beautiful views from the side widows!
The first floor powder room features a white pedestal sink with brushed nickel fixtures, white toilet, and wainscoting wall paneling.
The laundry room is tucked unobtrusively between the back staircase and the media room and features a large service sink, storage cabinets, wall panelling, a large window with breathtaking views, and mud- and pet-friendly Armstrong linoleum flooring.
Second Level
All of the home’s bedrooms are located on the second floor with separation between the master bedroom suite and the secondary bedrooms. The master bedroom features a sitting area, neutral carpeting, ceiling fan with lights, and an enormous walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry and storage. The master bedroom’s en-suite bathroom features a soaking tub, two separate wood vanities with integrated sinks and chrome fixtures, a stall shower, toilet room, and a large double-hung picture window right above the tub with gorgeous distant views.
The second bedroom features access to a enormous second-floor deck, a walk-in closet, ceiling fan, and neutral carpeting, it’s own vanity, an in-room access to the main bathroom with its large vanity with plenty of surface space, tub-shower, and neutral finishes.
The home’s third and fourth bedrooms feature carpeting, spacious walk-in closets, and large windows.
T landing at the top of the secondary staircase unites the bedrooms and completes the second floor living spaces with its built-ins and window seat. This area creates a quiet reading nook to daydream and enjoy the endless views while holding a book, perhaps even upside down.
Lower Level
The full basement can be accessed from inside the house through a staircase centrally-located in the foyer near the kitchen. This spacious, walkout ground level adds significant storage space and endless possibilities. With neutral vinyl tile and built-in cubbies with access to the garage, this lower level area is an ideal location to store sports equipment within easy reach.
Around the corner is a perfect workshop setup with an abundance of cabinets and plentiful countertop space.
The three-car garage is oversized with extra space for workshop benches and/or storage. Two of the garage doors have automatic door openers with an exterior access keypad.
