It features 4 generously sized bedrooms and 5 full baths, with a main-level library/study that can easily serve as a 5th bedroom. At the heart of the home is a stunning eat-in kitchen with a large center island, quartz countertops, ample seating, and a delightful breakfast nook. The adjoining family room showcases a striking fireplace, wood beams, and elegant French doors that open to a lovely stone terrace.
