The foyer is flanked by a formal dining room designed to impress, featuring a custom-built-in buffet with a beverage cooler, open shelving, chair railing, and crown molding, an ideal backdrop for elevated entertaining.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, entered through French doors and showcasing a tray ceiling, plush carpeting, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath with double vanity, water closet, ample storage, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level, including one with a walk-in closet and unfinished space above the garage offering an easy opportunity for future expansion, along with a well-appointed hall bath. The recently finished lower level provides exceptional versatility, featuring a spacious recreation room with high ceilings and plush carpeting, a dedicated game area, a gym or craft space, a newly completed full bath, and an unfinished area offering abundant storage. Outdoor, enjoy tranquil privacy as the home backs to trees and showcases professional landscaping, a fully fenced rear yard, and extensive hardscaping with an expansive approximately 1,000-square-foot stone patio, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Energy-efficient appliances, a level lot, and recent enhancements, including the finished basement with full bath, custom dining room buffet, garage entry improvements, patio, and fencing, further elevate the home’s appeal.
