Adjacent to the living room, the spacious dining area comfortably accommodates seating for eight, with additional space for lounge furniture—perfect for an after-dinner cocktail. The heart of the home, a breathtaking chef’s kitchen, showcases an 11-foot seamless quartz center island, a dedicated coffee or bar area with a built-in beverage fridge, and custom cabinetry. A newly carpeted secondary staircase off the kitchen provides convenient access to two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom. Completing the main level are a stylish powder room, multiple storage closets, and access to the basement through a pocket door. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a cozy fireplace, an upgraded en-suite bath with an oversized shower, and an incredible walk-in closet with custom built-ins.
