Inside, the spacious kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a high-end Wolf range, Jenn Air double oven, Miele dishwasher, butler's pantry with wine fridge, and a sun-filled dining room-ideal for hosting gatherings. The first-floor primary suite offers comfort and privacy, while the expansive family room with a wood-burning fireplace and kitchen with a gas fireplace and office nook create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The sun-drenched library with built-in shelving is the perfect retreat for book lovers. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms and a full bath offer plenty of room for family and guests.
