Original deal fell thru right before closing. Harmony of man and nature can be found in this thoughtfully updated contemporary home, where architectural flair meets everyday functionality. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac street among mature trees and landscaping, an expansive driveway leads to a welcoming entry. Inside, a two-story foyer opens to a multi-level layout featuring new wide-plank hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings and an open, wide staircase. Inviting and comfortable, the sunken living room offers a perfect spot to unwind and flows seamlessly into the dining room—ideal for gatherings. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, blending rustic charm with modern finishes. Highlights include a tray ceiling, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens and a herringbone tile backsplash. A white brick accent wall frames a built-in cooking nook with open shelving and subway tile surround—both stylish and practical. A few steps down from the kitchen, the cozy family room, framed by a railing and exposed beams, centers around a striking floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with hearth and offers direct access to the back deck through sliding doors. This level also includes a powder room & a convenient laundry center. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, including a primary suite with vaulted ceiling, his-and-hers closets and a spa-inspired ensuite. A second full bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The finished lower level adds 668 square feet of versatile living space—ideal for a recreation room, fitness area or additional family room. Outside, enjoy a full-length deck—partially covered on one end, where ceiling fans add comfort—that overlooks a flat, tree lined backyard. A tranquil water feature rests to one side, while a charming footbridge crosses a small stream along the back, leading to a wooded area complete with rustic firepit & storage shed. Some of the recent renovations include new exterior paint, windows, doors, as well as updates to the kitchen and bathrooms—making this home truly move-in ready. Convenient to village amenities, shopping and major roadways—including a walking path from the road to the Elementary & Middle Schools. FM Schools!
