Generously proportioned rooms include high ceilings, decorative moldings and trim, hardwood floors a current decor and abundant natural light. On the main level, the open, easy flow lends itself perfectly to entertaining on a grand scale. Fireplaces in the foyer, living room and family room enhance the experience, while the fireplace in the master suite adds a touch of romance.

The designer kitchen is a virtual work of art, elevating the skills of even a seasoned home cook. Adjoining the kitchen is a breakfast area with open access to the family room, where a wall of built-ins provide an excellent entertainment center. Sliders in the family room and breakfast area offer an effortless transition to outside living.

Five bedrooms, including a palatial master suite occupy the second level while a walkup attic has convenient storage. The lower level has superior leisure space ready for indoor play and casual enjoyment.
