A grand foyer opens to over 3,500 square feet of space with great flow connecting the entire main living level, from the formal living room, first floor library, family room, dining room and renovated kitchen. A spacious recreation room overlooks the deck and yard. Soaring 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, beautiful crown molding, hardwood floors, new carpeting on the second floor, two fireplaces, new windows, new lighting and many other touches give this home its warmth and depth. Recently refreshed in 2021, the kitchen features casual eating area with a stylish banquette, new quartz countertops, new subway tile backsplash, new cooktop, and new faucet and sink. A renovated powder bath and a laundry room/mudroom with access to the attached two-car garage complete this level. Five bedrooms reside upstairs, including a generous primary bedroom with a remodeled primary bedroom, multiple closets and a walk-in, plus an updated spa bath offering the ultimate in relaxation. A renovated family bath also can be found on this level. Below, a full basement can be used for a recreation space, a workshop or storage. A truly magnificent backyard space beckons you outdoors with an expansive deck with a pull-down screen for movie nights, a stone patio with hot tub and a sweeping lawn with a firepit for s'mores or simply keeping warm. A wonderful family home for making memories and enjoying for another 20 years!
