A gracious, well-maintained home with a layout that adapts so well to today's needs for home office space or multi-generational living. Built as 5 BRs with formals & a den, the floor plan is laid out where it is adaptable to different lifestyles & uses. Formals split across the foyer allowing the option of the formal living to be transformed into a great home office, media or game room. The primary is down with a gorgeous fully renovated bath with walk-in shower, but there is also another secondary BR down off a short hallway containing another full bath & the utility room with an outside entrance. Perfect for elderly guests or as a more secluded home office, live in nanny quarters or adult children to have a more private entrance. 3 more very roomy bedrooms & a 3rd full bath up. Beautifully updated galley style kitchen with granite & stainless appliances. Updated windows, den with crown molding, recessed lighting & French doors to Covered patio & huge backyard with no rear neighbors.
