You'll also find an on-demand water heater for the kitchen, ensuring instant hot water for all your culinary needs. The first-floor main suite offers the ultimate retreat with two spacious walk-in closets, a luxurious custom bathroom, its own private thermostat for personalized comfort, and direct access to the outdoor living space. Step out to your private oasis featuring a covered hot tub, a two-level Trex deck with a retractable awning, and a sparkling saltwater in-ground pool—all backing to a protected preserve for unmatched privacy and tranquility. On the second floor, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, providing flexible options for family, guests, or additional workspace. Additional thoughtful upgrades include a Carrier Infiniti 3-zone HVAC system for optimal comfort, automatic solar blinds for easy light control, a built-in outdoor gas line ready for your grill, and a professionally finished three-car garage with an epoxy-coated floor. The home is also equipped with a surround sound system (with speakers included), an automatic venting system in the basement, and first-floor laundry hookups for added convenience.
