Perched on a small hill at the end of a sunny cul-de-sac, this 1.75-acre verdant retreat has been meticulously and thoughtfully updated throughout. The open floorplan with its main floor primary suite offers perfection in every detail and a warm ambiance permeates throughout the entire home. Newer, oversized windows load each room with natural light and provide panoramic views of the meticulously manicured gardens. The exquisite kitchen was renovated less than a year ago and offers professional grade appliances, extensive counter space and an amazing sun-filled family breakfast area. The expansive great room features a stately fireplace, quaint wet bar and floor to ceiling windows open onto the deck. Retreat to the luxurious main floor primary suite, and a serene master bedroom awaits with a luxurious spa-like primary bathroom with its deep soaking tub and fabulous, oversized steam shower, beautiful tile and custom cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in closet. The second floor offers three additional en-suite bedrooms, each with ample closet space and features a convenient second-floor laundry room. The spacious lower level showcases a handsome wet bar, a large game room that opens into a well-designed work out area, ample storage and an additional flex room perfect for a 5th bedroom or 2nd office, or craft room. Outside, escape into the outdoor oasis spanning across 1.75 acres of manicured landscape with complete privacy across the entire property. Approx. 4800 sq ft, 3 car garage, serene privacy, and a stellar location- your forever home awaits!
