Space, privacy and a backyard made for summer! Set well back on approximately 3 serene acres, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath custom Colonial offers a long, tree-lined approach that opens to an inviting, open yard. The large kitchen flows into an oversized great room with a gas fireplace, creating a terrific space for entertaining. A first-floor bedroom/office offers added flexibility, with potential to convert the nearby powder room to a full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite features two walk-ins and an exceptionally large bathroom. The finished walk-out basement offers a full bath, built-in bar, recreation space and your own pool table. Outside you find an inground pool, expansive paver patio and cabana, for just the right amount of privacy. One year home warranty included The kitchen offers plenty of prep space and storage, with room for serious cooking as well as everyday meals. Its open connection to the great room is especially appealing when entertaining--guests can move easily between the two spaces while everyone still feels part of the same gathering. The great room itself is warm and comfortable, with a gas fireplace as its focal point. A sunny formal dining room with built-ins is ready for holidays and dinner parties, while the separate living room offers a quieter spot to read, relax or catch up with friends. The first-floor bedroom/office becomes even more valuable with the nearby powder room and its potential for conversion to a full bath--an appealing option for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite has room to spare, with a bay window, two large walk-ins and an exceptionally large bathroom featuring double sinks, a soaking tub, separate shower and skylights. Three additional bedrooms complete the second floor, along with one of the home's most appreciated conveniences: the laundry room is upstairs, right where the laundry actually happens. The walk-out basement gives you an entirely different kind of entertaining space. A built-in bar, full bath and large recreation area, with your own pool table which is included, provide plenty of room for game nights, movie nights, parties or hobbies, with walk-out access to the backyard. There's plenty to enjoy outdoors beyond the pool. The large covered front porch is a perfect spot for morning coffee, a good book or some quiet time surrounded by nature. Out back, the open lawn and tree-lined surroundings create a wonderful balance of sunshine and privacy around the welcoming pool and expansive paver patio. An entertaining cabana with bar gives everyone a natural place to gather, creating a backyard that works just as well for a summer party as it does for an afternoon by the pool. A detached 2-car garage offers parking, storage or a great space for a dedicated workshop. Other highlights include a dramatic 2-story entry with chandelier lift, 2-zone HVAC and an abundance of closets and storage throughout.
