The second floor serves as a private retreat with two additional bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite featuring a walk-in closet with custom organizers, a separate shoe closet, abundant storage, and an updated bath finished with a marble-top vanity, new tile flooring, and a beautifully tiled shower. The newly finished walk-out basement significantly expands the home's living space with a large recreation room, dedicated play area, full bathroom, and an oversized laundry room complete with built-in cabinetry, folding station, utility sink, and newer washer and dryer. A custom wine cellar, highlighted by French barn doors, exposed brick accents, stained ceilings, and temperature-controlled ventilation, adds a distinctive touch that is sure to impress. Additional updates include newer windows throughout, custom window treatments, a tankless water heater, updated 200-amp electrical service, extensive exterior improvements, and a detached garage. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a beautiful paver patio perfect for summer entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing.
