The main level boasts an open-concept floor plan, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The spacious living room features a cozy fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings with loved ones. French doors lead to a charming covered sitting area, where stately columns gracefully frame the space, perfect for your morning coffee. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and two large center islands that serves as the focal point for gatherings.

The expansive space can accommodate large groups for memorable dinner parties or casual brunches with ease. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite awaits, offering a peaceful sanctuary with a spa-like ensuite bathroom, laundry and two walk in closets with custom organizers. Three additional bedrooms and two additional full bathrooms provide flexibility for guests or a home office. The fully finished basement includes a custom wine cellar room, family room that includes a built in bar great for entertaining, an additional bedroom, workout room or office, full bathroom, and large laundry and mechanical room with addtional storage.
