Whether you're relaxing after a long day by the firepit or entertaining family and friends, this home was designed to enjoy both indoor and outdoor living.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen blends function and style with an eat-in kitchen big enough for an island, Matte GE appliances, quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, a generous walk-in pantry and a laundry/mud room. It opens effortlessly into a dramatic family room, where cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a gas-start, wood-burning fireplace create a warm and inviting setting.

The wraparound deck offers multiple vantage points to unwind, including access to a charming three-season room off the family room and a private deck off the primary suite-perfect for quiet evenings. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-sized bath complete with a jacuzzi tub, separate shower and bidet.
