The formal living and dining rooms at the front of the home are generously sized and ideal for hosting. Upstairs, the second floor features a luxurious primary suite with two outfitted walk-in closets and a spa-like bath complete with a steam shower, soaking tub, and double vanity. Three additional generously sized bedrooms plus a hall bathroom share the level, along with a bright and spacious laundry room offering plentiful storage, folding counter space, and a sink. The third floor provides exceptional flexibility with a fifth bedroom and a large skylit bonus room - perfect as a playroom, office, or additional family room.
