With a total of 7,300 square feet of exquisitely finished living space-including a 3,000 square foot finished basement-this home is a must-see! Sitting on a serene .57-acre wooded lot, it combines luxury, comfort, and modern living at its finest. Inside, you'll be greeted by high-end finishes, custom millwork, and wainscoting details throughout the first floor, elevating the space with timeless elegance. The open-concept floor plan boasts 10-foot ceilings on the first floor, with a family room featuring custom built-ins that seamlessly flow into a stunning vaulted kitchen. This chef's dream kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and 11ft island, a walk-in pantry, and top-of-the-line appliances, all bathed in natural light. A formal dining room is elegantly connected to the kitchen via a butler's pantry, making it perfect for entertaining. The main floor also includes a cozy breakfast nook, a beautiful coffered-ceiling library with a marble-surround fireplace, and a luxurious first-floor primary suite, complete with a spacious walk-in closet. Upstairs, find three spacious ensuite bedrooms, all with walk-in closets and vaulted ceilings-one of which features a private walkout balcony. A generous laundry closet with sink and hookups adds ease and convenience. The expansive deep-pour finished basement is a showstopper, a true entertainers dream, with 6-foot windows and deep brick window wells, providing ample natural light throughout. This space includes a wet bar, future wine room, family room, game room, additional bedroom, full bath, exercise room, and a future theater room, yoga studio, or golf simulator room.
