Inside, a traditional center-hall layout unfolds, complemented by a bonus family room between the living and kitchen areas. To the left of the main staircase, the spacious living room, accessed through an open arched entry, features a wood-burning fireplace and is flooded with natural light from a wall of windows, including a sweeping bay. To the right, the formal dining room is illuminated by a large bay of windows and enhanced with custom built-ins, offering a refined yet functional setting for memorable gatherings.
The adjoining kitchen is a chef’s delight, with built-in appliances, abundant cabinetry and counter space, a peninsula island with seating, and a large custom pantry. Rare for this neighborhood, the kitchen also features a spacious breakfast nook with additional built-in storage and direct access to the rear deck—perfect for casual dining or outdoor entertaining. From the deck, steps lead down to the fenced backyard, offering privacy and versatility.
Situated between the kitchen and living room is the coveted family room. This sun-drenched bonus room provides an ideal space for casual gatherings, TV watching, or could serve as a dedicated playroom within eye sight of the kitchen!
