The stately exterior of brick and Hardy plank siding, a circular driveway with oval paver entryway, flagstone path, mature trees and extensive landscaping offer welcoming curb appeal. The private, in-ground, heated, fully automated, saltwater pool and spa is highlighted by the stunning newly installed glass tile and PebbleTec surface. The expansive EP Henry paver pool decking, patio and walkway provide lots of space to entertain outdoors. Upon entering the home, you are immediately drawn to the enormous crystal chandelier, hardwood staircase with open steel and brass wraparound railing extending 3 stories. A living room/flex space enclosed with 2 sets of glass doors and the dining room with gas fireplace and 2 sets of arched glass doors flank the foyer. 2 coat closets in the foyer provide plenty of storage.

The enormous kitchen with granite countertop and backsplash features a SubZero refrigerator, dual zone SubZero wine refrigerator, 2 beverage drawers, Dacor 6-burner gas range, Gaggenau steamer, Bosch dishwasher, double convection wall oven, warming drawer, island with convenient prep sink and plentiful storage.

Step down from the kitchen into the great room with wood burning fireplace and media center with surround system and custom oak built-ins. Sliding doors into the screen porch are most convenient. This flexible floor plan is sure to please. Down the hall past the powder room is a mudroom with access to the backyard. The bonus room off the garage entry offers access to the 2nd floor and the basement. Completing the first floor is an additional staircase off the kitchen leading to the finished basement with a convenient additional kitchenette and wall of cabinetry.
