About this home

This is such a cool house! 3200 square feet of fabulous new construction with coveted attached garage in excellent location. Custom and designer finishes throughout. The first floor has 10' ceilings and the light filled front room with vaulted ceiling would be an excellent office or living room. The kitchen is stunning! Gorgeous 8'+ Mon Cheri quartzite island, custom cabinetry and all Thermador appliances including 60" refrigerator/freezer and 48" commercial oven. Large pantry and butler's pantry. The kitchen is open to the family room with custom fireplace. This incredible living space opens to fully fenced yard, including large brick patio and fire pit. Great mudroom off the attached garage. Hardwood floors on first and second floor. 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor include the elegant master suite with 14' walk-in organized closet and sublime bath with "his & her" vanities. 3 additional good sized bedrooms on 2nd floor (one with en suit bath), large hall bath and laundry room. The basement provides the 5th bedroom and full bath and a huge family room with full bar. So many distinctive details everywhere you look: the beautiful stone in the window wells, the handcrafted turned wood & steel banister, the well placed barn doors and all of the light fixtures! Home includes Sonos system/wifi boosters. Walk to all schools & parks!
