The second floor offers three spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. A bright and generously sized laundry room adds everyday practicality. The third floor provides an additional bedroom with ensuite bath, perfect as a private guest suite, teen retreat, or additional home office. The finished lower level further expands the living space with a fifth bedroom, full bath, and an additional family room with wet bar, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. An exercise room with mirrored wall, television, and generous storage enhances the home’s versatility. Additional highlights include wired sound throughout much of the home, and closets thoughtfully fitted with custom organization systems, including an upgraded office configuration. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with professionally landscaped grounds featuring a deck off the family room that leads to beautiful stone pavers and an expansive patio. More than just a backyard, this private outdoor retreat is designed for both gathering and unwinding. Surrounded by mature landscaping, the space invites relaxed evenings with friends, al fresco dining, or quiet mornings immersed in nature. It is a seamless extension of the home’s living space.
