Interior
Step through the front door into a welcoming central foyer, where the main stairwell serves as a striking focal point, gracefully guiding the flow and layout of the home. Curved archways, crown moulding, wainscoting, and an ornate chandelier come together to create a space rich in elegance and architectural detail.
To your right, you’re welcomed into a spacious, front-facing living area featuring an original fireplace and a beautiful bay window. Crown moulding, hardwood floors, and a decorative ceiling medallion enhance the room, creating a bright and inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
Continuing forward, the layout unfolds into a grand family room featuring bordered hardwood floors, ornate millwork, built-in ceiling speakers, a custom TV console, and an integrated desk. Tucked just behind the TV console is a versatile bonus space perfect for a private home office and provides direct access to the back deck.
Framed by classic columns with wainscoted knee walls, the home flows seamlessly into a sun-drenched breakfast area—creating a cohesive and inviting setting ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. To the left, the layout transitions into an oversized kitchen, thoughtfully positioned as the heart of the home.
Designed with both style and function in mind, the kitchen features a large center island with seating, high-end appliances including a six-burner Wolf gas cooktop with pot filler, double Thermador wall ovens with an integrated microwave, a paneled refrigerator and freezer, and two dishwashers. White shaker cabinetry is paired with elegant stone countertops, completing the space with a timeless aesthetic.
The kitchen also provides convenient access to a well-appointed powder room and a mudroom connected to the attached garage, offering seamless everyday entry and excellent storage solutions.
Straight ahead, a gracefully rounded archway with layered molding frames the entrance to the formal dining room. This elegant space features wainscoting, two built-in hutches, crown molding, and three large windows that fill the room with natural light. A decorative ceiling medallion anchors a statement chandelier, completing a refined setting that is perfect for hosting.
At the front of the home, a beautifully appointed study offers a warm yet refined retreat. Rich wood-paneled walls contrast elegantly with crisp white millwork, creating a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. The space is anchored by a classic fireplace with a detailed mantel, flanked by custom built-in bookshelves that provide both character and functionality.
Ascending the main staircase to the second level, you’re welcomed into an expansive primary suite that spans the full length of the home. Lined with a wall of windows, the space is bathed in natural light, highlighting the rich hardwood floors and refined millwork throughout. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and functionality, the suite features a custom dressing area and seamless access to a private deck, complete with an outdoor shower, creating a serene, spa-like retreat.
The primary en-suite bath offers a spa-like experience, featuring a jetted soaking tub, dual vanities, an oversized glass-enclosed double-headed steam shower, and a private water closet.
A central hallway leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with double closets and their own fireplace.
A full bathroom serves the two second-level bedrooms. Bright and charming, it features a pedestal sink with chrome fixtures, a tub with glass shower screen, white subway tile with mosaic accent, and beadboard wainscoting. Two frosted windows provide natural light and privacy, while a wall-mounted cabinet adds storage.
The third level offers great flexibility, featuring two spacious bedrooms, a full bath with a skylight, jetted tub and double-headed shower, plus ample closet and storage space.
