Thoughtfully redesigned for today's family, the first floor features exceptional living and entertaining spaces. The stunning kitchen (2022) is the heart of the home, showcasing custom cabinetry with built-in organization and drawer inserts, a La Cornue range, Ann Sacks tile, and an oversized island with quartzite counters and plenty of seating. A built-in dining banquette creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, homework, or casual family meals. The main level also includes a bright and sunny family room, a custom wet bar with beverage refrigerator, filtered water, and display cabinetry, a private home office, formal dining room, and a mudroom with custom cubbies. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite features a generous walk-in closet.

Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard, paver patio, sprinkler system, and gated driveway. The heated garage is currently outfitted as a gym and features insulated walls, epoxy flooring, upgraded electrical service, and abundant storage.
