The formal dining room, spacious and elegant, is perfect for hosting holidays and special occasions. Pocket doors make these areas private without disturbing the flow. A double-swing door connects the dining room to the butler’s pantry, enhancing the flow for effortless entertaining. At the heart of the home is a cheerful, updated kitchen that combines modern functionality with warmth. It boasts stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a large center island with a gas cooktop, durable Corian countertops, and a hands-free pull-out faucet. The adjacent breakfast room, drenched in natural light from multiple windows and a skylight, offers peaceful views of the backyard gardens and deck—a perfect spot to start your day. The bright sunroom leads to a two-level deck with trellis, ideal for summer barbecues, al fresco dining, or quiet mornings surrounded by nature. The fenced backyard includes a vegetable garden, offering fresh harvests just steps from your kitchen. You will also find a shed where you can store gardening tools and equipment. Upstairs, the second level hosts five generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath, providing flexibility for work, play, or rest. A back staircase leads conveniently to the kitchen below. On the third level, you'll find a spacious sixth bedroom with an en-suite bath, plus an additional large room that can serve as a seventh bedroom, home office, or creative space. A sizable walk-in closet is located in the hallway for added storage. The basement includes a dedicated laundry area, ample storage space, and a Bilco door providing direct access to the backyard.
