Hardwood floors flow through most of the home, while soaring 10-foot ceilings on the first floor and 9-foot ceilings on the second floor and basement add to the open, airy feel. The recently updated exterior features classic stone, Hardie plank siding, copper roof accents, and a grand two-story covered entry with double doors. A secondary entrance leads directly into the mudroom for daily convenience. Inside, a front-to-back foyer showcases gleaming hardwoods, custom millwork, and elegant architectural details. The formal living room, accessed via French doors, includes a bay window, plantation shutters, recessed lighting, and crown molding. Across the hall, the formal dining room offers a second bay window, chair rail, and custom woodwork—perfect for entertaining. The newly renovated kitchen is a standout, centered around a large island with seating and deep sink. It boasts ceiling-height custom cabinetry, herringbone tile backsplash, tile flooring, a beverage station with prep sink and bar fridge, and premium appliances—including a six-burner gas cooktop with griddle, double ovens, and a custom hood.
