The spa-inspired bathroom features luxurious finishes and an oversized shower with dual shower heads. Every bathroom throughout the home showcases carefully selected porcelain stone and custom vanities, reflecting the exceptional attention to detail found at every turn. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully appointed hall bath complete the second floor. The finished basement provides fantastic additional recreation and entertaining space. Outdoors, enjoy unforgettable summer gatherings on the expansive 600-square-foot deck overlooking the enormous, beautifully landscaped yard. With a new roof, windows, mechanicals, flooring, landscaping, and so much more, this remarkable property offers the luxury, craftsmanship, and peace of mind of new construction-while delivering the character, warmth, and thoughtful design that only a truly exceptional renovation can provide.
