The remodeled chef's kitchen opens to a family room with three walls of windows, while formal living and dining spaces showcase cherry paneling and a granite-surround fireplace.The primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a walk-in closet, a private deck, and a spa-inspired bath. Additional bedrooms include walk-in closets and built-in seating. The upper-level catwalk leads to a wood-paneled study/gaming room. Carpet has been replaced on the main and primary suite.
The walkout lower level is designed for entertaining with a granite-floored recreation area, full wet bar, flexible rooms for hobbies or a guest suite, and patio/hot tub access.
An oversized heated/cooled 3-car garage, advanced home systems (including security, sound, radon, central vacuum, and zoned HVAC), and extensive outdoor lighting complete this one-of-a-kind property.
