Beautifully updated Contemporary Masterpiece inspired and designed by architect Jules Marling. This stunning home features an open concept living space with light pouring in from the floor to ceiling windows on the main floor. The newly updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz counters and high end appliances. The dining room with a custom glass wine rack overlooks your open concept living area anchored by a wood burning fireplace. A wrought iron and stone floating staircase leads you to the spacious primary suite on the second level with a newly remodeled en-suite bath. The third level features three additional large bedrooms, a second full bath, and a workout room with sauna overlooking the wooded lot. The lower level has a fifth bedroom, that can also make a great home office. New flooring installed throughout the home, as well as fresh paint inside and out. A brand new roof, driveway, and garage floor have all been taken care of. The mature wooded lot features professional landscaping throughout, trails, a fire pit, as well as paver outdoor patio.
