Supplements: The expansive yard beyond offers ample space for fun and events, and backs to your own private woods and trail - perfect for young explorers! The Mahogany front door welcomes you into the two-story foyer, beyond which an arched doorway opens into a beautiful living room with hardwood floors, a vaulted ceiling, and a corner gas fireplace. French doors off the living room provide easy access to the back porch and the tree-lined yard offers so much privacy that you'll never need to ever close the living room drapes! Adjoining the living room is an expansive kitchen with a gas stove, large island, and substantial walk-in pantry. Two refrigerators, sinks, and microwaves offer all the conveniences needed for preparing huge family dinners. The kitchen opens to a large light-filled breakfast room featuring three windowed walls overlooking the yard - again, so private there's no need for curtains! A smaller formal dining room is perfect for family dinners, and a 26' x 15' gathering room through French doors off the foyer can host dining or other events seating twenty-five or more. In the home's northern wing there is a family room, bedroom, study, full bath, and laundry room; this area could easily serve as an in-law suite, if desired. Need more space? The unfinished basement offers plenty of room for a workshop and storage! Speaking of space galore, the 950 sq ft side-entry garage off the mud room has 12-foot ceilings as well air/heating vents for year-round comfort, perfect for hobbies, meetings, or a multitude of uses. Upstairs the main bedroom suite is spectacular at 750 square feet, with a vaulted ceiling, attached sitting room opening to a private porch, two large walk-in closets, and a huge, en suite bathroom. The expansive upstairs also includes a large landing area, perfect for homework or studies, three additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a bonus room overlooking the foyer. Solidly constructed with 6" studs packed with extra insulation, and boasting a recently painted interior, this home is truly move-in ready. If you're looking for the ultimate retreat that has something for everyone and will be the center of gatherings for generations, look no further!
