Step inside to an expansive open-concept main floor featuring a seamless flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. The recently updated eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, highlighted by a large center island with bar seating, abundant cabinetry, a large range with exhaust hood, two ovens, pot filler and a massive walk-in pantry for ultimate storage and organization. The main floor also features a sun-filled living room anchored by a cozy fireplace, plus a full bedroom and bathroom-ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The main floor is finished up by a cozy 3 seasons room which is a delight to sit in.

The spa-like en-suite bath includes dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower with built-in bench. Two additional bedrooms and two full baths share the upper level, along with an oversized three-room flex area, perfect for a fifth bedroom, theater, home office, gym, playroom, theater, or anything else you can dream of. If that weren't enough, there is even an upstairs laundry room! The full basement offers incredible potential with nine foot ceilings for future expansion or customization to suit your lifestyle. Outdoors, the backyard is truly an entertainer's dream. With two covered pergolas, a built-in firepit, and a vast open yard and even an invisible fence for your pet, the possibilities are endless. Lastly, the home has solar panels as well as an EV charger in the three car garage.
