Thoughtfully designed for a modern lifestyle, the main floor provides a combination of both conventional living and dining rooms with a more casual eat-in kitchen/family room. The formal living room is situated to the right of the entrance foyer, and features a dramatic ten-foot cathedral ceiling, a gas fireplace with an elegant surround, and oversized windows that flood the right with natural light. The large formal dining room sits opposite the living room, a perfect counterbalance in design and functionality to the living room. Spacious enough for both large gatherings and intimate meals with family and friends, the dining room has a nine-foot tray ceiling and several windows that provide abundant natural light.
A butler’s pantry connects the dining room to the kitchen, and includes storage cabinets and a computer desk alcove. The eat-in kitchen is a dream for serious and casual cooks alike, with ample granite counter space, a nine-foot ceiling, a large center island, two ovens, and enough drawers and cabinets for even the most ambitious cook. The kitchen opens to an inviting family room with a media center next to a gas fireplace, a high ceiling, and a door providing direct access to the back yard garden. French doors, situated across from the center hall staircase, open to a sunny, picturesque tile patio and stone fountain, proving an ideal place for entertaining or simply enjoying the private outdoor space. A half bathroom is conveniently situated off the center hallway, completing the main level.
Upstairs, the elegant primary bedroom sits at one end of a long hallway, while the remaining three bedrooms are located at the other end of the hall. Primary bedroom features include new carpeting, a nine-foot tray ceiling, a large, walk-in closet with custom-designed organizers, a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a shower and two vanities separated by a large soaking tub, and a covered balcony spanning the length of the bedroom. Three additional generously-sized bedrooms all have new carpeting, built-in closet organizers, and plenty of bright, natural light. A shared hallway bathroom includes a double vanity and a tub/shower combination.
