The kitchen showcases dark cabinetry, neutral countertops, a single-basin stainless sink, Culligan reverse osmosis system, and a full suite of stainless appliances. A well-placed powder room adds convenience, and a flexible room nearby can serve as an office or reading room.

Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with double closets and an en suite spa-like bathroom featuring dual sinks, an oversized shower, and a separate whirlpool tub. One secondary bedroom includes a private full bathroom, while two other bedrooms share a dual-access bathroom. A laundry closet completes this level for everyday ease. The finished basement extends the living space with soft carpeting, a versatile bonus room, a full bathroom with steam shower, and a large utility room for storage. Outdoors, enjoy the EV-ready garage with an additional gravel parking space. Entertaining is effortless with a garage refrigerator, detached grill, two outdoor Sonos speakers, Unilock brick paver patio with fire pit, and included furniture. Additional highlights include professionally designed closets, room-darkening blinds upstairs, solid wood interior doors, and professional landscaping with perennials and sideline Arborvitae trees for extra privacy.
