Step inside to newly refinished hardwood floors throughout the first level and a spacious floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen opens seamlessly to the large family room, creating a wonderful flow for entertaining. To the left of the foyer are the formal living and dining rooms, while a first floor office with beautiful windows provides a bright and inviting work from home space. A convenient first floor laundry room and powder room complete the main level.

Three additional generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space and a full hall bath complete the second floor. The finished basement adds even more versatile living space with plenty of room for a recreation area, home gym, playroom, media room, additional office or a combination of uses. The outdoor space is equally impressive. The 1.8 acre property backs to woods, providing a private and peaceful backdrop to the fenced backyard. An expansive bi-level composite deck provides plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing. Gather around the stone fire pit or unwind in the six-person hot tub, creating a backyard designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Additional features include a three car garage, whole-house generator, 220V hookup for an EV charger, and solar panels to help offset electric costs.
