The elegant separate dining room, with its handsome built-in cabinetry, is perfectly positioned between the living room and kitchen, connecting to the kitchen through an open butler's pantry. The spacious eat in kitchen is outfitted with a 2025 premium appliance package, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking cooktop, Wolf double oven and microwave, and Bosch dishwasher. Just off the kitchen, a large newly refinished deck overlooks the beautiful professionally landscaped yard and leads down to a full-size sport court -- an incredible amenity for recreation and entertaining. A conveniently tucked-away powder room is located beneath the staircase on the main floor. Up the grand staircase, the 2nd floor features a beautifully renovated custom office (with a discreetly integrated full-size washer and dryer), 2 generously sized bedrooms, a cozy family room, and a newly updated full bath.

A separate laundry area with sink, large walk-in pantry, second refrigerator and abundant additional storage add to the functionality of this level, which also offers convenient walk-out access to the backyard. Newer mechanicals include heat pump and space pack and 2 water heaters. The flat roof lining was replaced around 2017.
