With over 4,200 square feet, five bedrooms, and a gracious floor plan designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, this home delivers exceptional space, quality, and lifestyle. A dramatic marble foyer sets an elegant tone, opening to expansive formal and casual living spaces filled with natural light. The soaring family room is a standout gathering space, featuring vaulted ceilings, multiple skylights, a woodburning fireplace with a striking custom marble mantle, and French doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living.

A generous square island anchors the space with ample prep and serving space, while the dramatic semi-circular breakfast bar with wraparound seating naturally becomes the gathering spot for casual meals, cocktails, and conversation. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a custom screened porch and expansive deck overlooking the property's serene, tree-lined setting. The spacious grounds offer privacy, room to play, and endless possibilities for enjoying the outdoors. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a sitting room, dual closets with customized California Closet build-ins, and a spa-like spacious bath featuring a new frameless shower door, expansive marble vanities, jacuzzi tub, separate make-up area, and private water closet. Four additional inviting bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or an additional recreation room/office space will impress everyone .
