The bedroom wing of the main level includes a generous Primary Suite with cathedral ceiling, walk-in-closet and an en-suite bath featuring a jetted tub, separate shower, and double cultured marble vanities. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the main level. A beautiful L-shaped oak staircase leads to the expansive walk-out lower level, offering incredible flexibility. The massive recreation/game room includes a stone hearth pellet stove and is perfect for entertaining, hobbies, home schooling, daycare, crafting -- whatever suits your lifestyle. This level also includes the 5th bedroom with walk-in closet, a 3rd full bath, two large storage rooms, and a utility room.
