Privately situated on a picturesque 1.92-acre fenced lot, the property is secured by an estate-quality Jerith fence and stately entrance gates. Bluestone front steps enhance its curb appeal, while the expansive backyard offers a park-like retreat with mature trees, open lawn, and a Trex patio deck leading to a charming gazebo—perfect for gatherings and outdoor entertaining.
Graceful statues warmly welcome guests, setting the tone for the grandeur within. A sculptural curved wooden staircase anchors the foyer with artful sophistication, complemented by a stunning European chandelier, marble, and granite floors. Designed for elegant living, the home features a distinguished library, a kitchen with a large center island and generous pantry, a formal dining room, and an expansive living room with vaulted ceiling, skylight, and a floor-to-ceiling ceramic-tile fireplace. The family room with a second fireplace adjoins an exquisite sunroom illuminated by six skylights, offering year-round light and warmth.
Upstairs, hardwood hallways lead to four spacious bedrooms, each with custom closets and private balconies—perfect for quiet mornings or starlit evenings. The main suite impresses with oversized skylights, ideal for stargazing, a fireplace for cool evenings and a spacious bath room featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. With twelve skylights and three working fireplaces throughout, the home radiates natural light and welcoming warmth. Includes 'Choice Home Warranty Service'.
