Grand and gracious, framed by a sweeping curved staircase. To your right, a large, sunlit office or den; a bright, quiet spot to get some work done or escape with a book. To your left, an elegant living room with a gas fireplace. Through the living room, enter the welcoming dining room, where classic crown molding and the running chair rail frame a sophisticated scene. Handsome and spacious, the kitchen is the beating heart of this home. Italian granite countertops and the glass tile backsplash add a delicious and dramatic flair to the gorgeous cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Abundant counter space including bar seating provides plenty of space for everyone to mingle, munch, and manage to get some homework done. There's a full pantry, a handy built-in desk, and plenty of room for an eat-in kitchen table and chairs. The adjoining family room has a dramatic vaulted ceiling, a second gas fireplace, and two sets of French doors lead to a magnificent screened porch with a built-in grill and an open trex deck. Beautifully landscaped, the fully fenced backyard is private, quiet and lush. Up the grand staircase, the master suite offers a spacious, nurturing retreat. The enormous walk-in closet has a place for everything, and the newly remodeled bathroom includes a marble-topped double vanity, walk-in spa shower, and a claw-foot tub, perfect for a rejuvenating soak after a long day. Three sizable bedrooms and two full baths complete this level, with a special hideaway space in the en suite bedroom ready for your personal touch. Downstairs, the basement is fully finished and bathed in natural light. The large living space is flanked by a fifth bedroom, guest room or second home office, a fun game room, and a huge storage room. Wait till you see the temperature-controlled wine room for your valued vintages. Homes today are playing a more diverse role than ever before! This home has the answer to your needs.
