Overlooking the backyard and new paver patio, this exceptional kitchen is designed equally for everyday living and entertaining. Refinished hardwood floors flow seamlessly across the first floor and continue up the stairs and second-floor hallway. A beautifully renovated powder room and dedicated first-floor office overlooking the backyard complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with a sunken tub, rain shower, and heated floors. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family and guests, including one with an en-suite bath, while the remaining two share a large, bright hall bathroom. The beautifully landscaped outdoor living space features a custom gas fireplace, paver patio, custom lighting, and updated irrigation, creating an inviting extension of the home. Additional improvements include some Pella windows, restored oak flooring, roof updates with copper chimney flashing, zoned Wi-Fi-enabled speakers throughout the home and outdoor spaces, dedicated heating in the kitchen and powder room, and a partially finished basement with epoxy flooring.
