Step inside and be captivated by a residence that has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed. Grand vaulted ceilings, dazzling chandeliers, and a magnificent staircase immediately evoke a sense of refined opulence, while an abundance of bright, open windows bathes the interior in natural light. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight boasting Silestone countertops, gas range, a double oven, a generous walk-in pantry, a built-in Miele coffee machine, and a discreet butler's pantry - making entertaining an absolute breeze.

The cozy sitting room with gas fireplace and plentiful storage possibilities sets the perfect tone for a relaxing oasis. The bright sunroom provides a picturesque vantage point, overlooking your sprawling private lot and the inviting in-ground pool. Upstairs, a second main suite truly defines sanctuary with a cozy fireplace, leading to a bright, luxurious bathroom appointed with both a rejuvenating walk-in shower and a deep soaker tub. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a versatile bonus room offer endless possibilities for recreation, a home theater, a private gym, or additional personalized living space.
