The two-story family room is the showstopper of the home, with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light, rich hardwood flooring, a cozy gas fireplace, and a stunning custom chandelier that adds warmth and sophistication. Just off the family room is a handsome study with custom built-ins—ideal for working from home or curling up with a book.
Tucked behind the kitchen, a versatile first-floor room with its own private full bath is perfect for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or dedicated home office. Also on the main level is a large laundry room with tile flooring, upper cabinets for storage, and a utility sink—a functional and convenient feature of everyday living.
Upstairs, retreat to a luxurious owner’s suite featuring a private sitting area, a spacious sleeping quarters, and a dressing corridor that includes a built-in vanity and two oversized walk-in closets.
