Gather with loved ones in the huge living room, boasting tall, bright windows that bring in plenty of light, gorgeous ceiling detail and plenty of space for multiple conversation areas. The classic, two-sided gas fireplace separates the living room from the sundrenched sitting area that's perfect for morning coffee, reading nook, play space or enjoying the backyard. And at the front of the home, a bright, adorable nook with a wall of windows offers privacy and work or study from home space. Across the foyer, the large, sunlit dining room can easily host your biggest holiday gatherings and leads to the kitchen. Cooking your best meals is a delight in the cheery, charming, bright kitchen featuring tons of cabinetry, all stainless appliances and a handy breakfast bar for casual meals. The adjoining sun-filled family room is great for movie or game night and showcases beautiful bay windows, tons of built-in cabinetry and sliding glass doors that lead to the huge deck. A spacious, convenient powder room completes this level, making it perfect for entertaining as well as everyday living. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to find four generous bedrooms! The spacious primary ensuite is a serene retreat showcasing a dressing area with walk in closet and a large, classic, spa-like, light-filled ensuite bath with a skylight, beautiful hexagonal and subway tile work, and a separate soaking tub and shower. The three additional bedrooms on this level are large and bright with tall windows and deep closets and the newer family bath boasts gorgeous marble and subway tile as well as a Bain soaking tub and completes this level. The third floor attic houses the spacepak and provides additional easily accessible storage space. The high and dry lower level has even more space with a large recreational area (second family room?); a spacious fifth bedroom and a convenient full bath (teen or guest's haven!); a spacious clean laundry room, and a separate room with mechanicals and tons of additional storage. Al-fresco living and entertaining is a dream in this home with the huge deck for three season BBQs and dining; a separate patio; wide side yard for your green thumb and a shaded backyard with a beautiful tree. Convenient two car garage and two additional parking spaces too! This charming, worry-free home has modern features and updates - new exterior wood paint (2024), refinished deck (2024), fresh interior paint, new roof (2021), H2O heater (2018), new light fixtures, sump pump and drain tile, spacepak, newer finished basement, newer insulation and more.
