The impressive living room features a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining room. The well-appointed kitchen offers newer appliances, abundant cabinetry, a pantry, and direct access to a covered side patio—perfect for outdoor dining. Just off the living room, the massive sunroom provides panoramic views of the backyard and creates the perfect space to relax year-round. The upper levels offer exceptional flexibility.

This level also provides direct access to the incredible garage space. The main garage comfortably accommodates up to six vehicles, while an additional climate-controlled garage offers the perfect space for a collector car, workshop, home business, or year-round projects.
