The formal living room offers endless possibilities as an elegant sitting room, library, or private retreat, while the formal dining room is ideal for hosting holiday gatherings and special occasions.
The updated gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, a spacious center island with breakfast bar seating, and plenty of prep space. An adjoining breakfast area provides a bright space for casual dining and flows seamlessly into the inviting family room, where a wood-burning fireplace is complemented by an electric fireplace insert offering both supplemental heat and realistic flame effects. Sliding glass doors lead to the expansive rear deck overlooking the wooded backyard. With the home's western exposure, you'll enjoy spectacular sunset views, and the peaceful wooded setting creates a serene, retreat-like atmosphere that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything you need—an ideal place to relax, entertain, or unwind at the end of the day.

A spacious laundry room completes the main level.
Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom offers excellent closet space, while the spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet plus access to a cedar closet that is also conveniently accessible from the upper-level hallway.
The walkout lower level is unfinished, providing abundant storage and endless possibilities for future expansion, whether you envision a recreation room, home gym, workshop, media room, or additional living space.
