And just inside, the palatial layout seamlessly unfolds. Fresh interior paint, new flooring throughout, updated bathrooms, and a newer chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances are just a few of the not-to-miss details.

There’s truly room for everyone—find ample space to spread out, whether you’re simply navigating the ins and outs of daily life, or hosting a lively crowd at your next gathering! Another dining area and the chef-ready kitchen masterpiece are conveniently adjacent to the dining room. The kitchen’s huge floor plan means there’s room for more than one cook, while abundant countertops offer more than enough space for meal prep, whipping up epic homemade meals, and baking marathons. Gather around the kitchen island when it’s time to decorate cookies, and serve up delicious buffets here when your home is filled with guests. Beautiful cabinetry elevates the timeless aesthetic even more, while offering abundant storage for kitchen essentials. Additionally, stainless steel appliances promise efficiency. 

The main level also includes a flexible office, as well as the primary suite that’s complete with a sundrenched 5-piece ensuite bath, a vanity, and a walk-in closet. Head upstairs to find 3 more bedrooms, a den, and a sitting area.
