Designed to balance refined entertaining with comfortable daily living, the home features a highly functional layout complemented by timeless finishes and quality craftsmanship throughout. A welcoming covered front porch introduces a gracious foyer, where hardwood floors extend seamlessly across the entire main level. A formal living room also ideal as a private office, sits adjacent to a well-proportioned dining room, creating a classic and elegant flow. The heart of the home unfolds in the open kitchen and family room, where a large center island, generous breakfast area, walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry connect seamlessly to a warm, inviting family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A rear deck extends the living space outdoors, while a well-designed mudroom with built-in storage adds everyday functionality. The second level is anchored by a stunning primary suite spanning the full width of the home, complete with a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. A standout feature is the private 28-foot balcony, an uncommon and truly special outdoor retreat. Three additional bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, are complemented by two full baths and a conveniently located laundry room. Hardwood floors continue throughout, and abundant natural light enhances the warmth of the space. The third floor offers exceptional flexibility, featuring a fifth bedroom, full bath, and an expansive loft-ideal for a playroom, media room, home office, or private guest suite. The finished walkout lower level adds significant living space, with a large recreation room, wet bar, full bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, perfect for entertaining, extended living, or an au pair arrangement. Additional highlights include a professionally landscaped and fenced yard, rear deck, two-car detached garage, and zoned HVAC for optimal comfort.
