The inviting family room/den showcases a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and direct access to the rear terrace. Just beyond, a pass-through library leads to an additional living space currently used as a living room—complete with a deep wood-burning fireplace and sliding glass doors opening to the terrace. A newly renovated laundry and mudroom with generous storage, cubbies, and a coat closet adds everyday convenience.
Upstairs, the second floor offers four to five bedrooms, depending on your needs. One room is currently styled as a sophisticated home office with custom built-ins and a desk, while another adjoins the primary suite and serves as a spacious dressing room. Three full bathrooms enhance the versatility and comfort of this level.
