The spacious living room with 12 foot ceilings and a large fireplace opens onto the back of the home where a wall of windows showcases the natural beauty of the inviting backyard. The kitchen, with views of both the front and back yards, features granite countertops, a large island, JennAir cooktop, and stainless appliances. Brick pavers in the kitchen and breakfast area add warmth and character and are also used to frame the breakfast area fireplace. The floorplan lends itself for entertaining large groups of family and friends. The primary suite is a true sanctuary and it opens onto the patio. The spacious bath features three windows giving abundant natural light, a walk in shower, jetted tub, double vanities, and two walk in closets. One of the four other bedrooms could easily serve as a home office, guest/grandparent suite as it includes its own private bath. A whole house generator provides added peace of mind. The home also offers abundant storage. The attic above the garage is easily accessible with built in stairs. The oversized two car garage includes a third port that can be used to store a riding lawnmower, or a third vehicle. The refrigerator, and ultra large washer and dryer can remain at no cost to the buyer. The expansive backyard offers plenty of room to garden.
