This 1445 sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath home with its exquisite, travel-inspired space resonates a casual, yet elegant lifestyle, typically seen only in luxury homes. The crisp, clean lines of the living room, kitchen and dining areas are extraordinarily enhanced by the homeowner's custom cabinetry and finishes that speak to his exceptional attention to detail and mastery of fine woodworking. Throughout the house you'll notice custom built-ins with cabinetry made of select Pennsylvania cherry hardwood handpicked by the homeowner for its character, grain and gorgeous red/chestnut color. Each piece of wood has undergone multiple layers of oil, sanding and polyurethane before assembling into the finished product to ensure the wood's natural patina and enduring beauty. To say the woodwork in this house is beautiful, would be a gross understatement. Entering the home, you notice the replacement windows throughout and a foyer/cloak room that leads to an open, light-filled living room with custom cherrywood fireplace and wall unit with flanking curio cabinets. The natural light streaming into the space from the windows and outdoor deck coupled with the room's serene color pallet masterfully blend the home's traditional qualities with a serene, casual elegance. Directly off the living room you see the spacious downstairs master bedroom with off-white carpeting, double windows and roomy ensuite bath with its marble topped vanity and custom cherry cabinetry. Further down the hall from the living room is a convenient 1/2 bath and laundry room to the right. Looking beyond, you get your first glimpse of the exceptional open kitchen and dining space. The light-filled kitchen is truly breathtaking with its hardwood floors, wall of cherry cabinets, ceramic tile backsplash, granite countertops and custom cherrywood buffet dividing the kitchen and dining room. This is one area of the house where the homeowners artistic perspective in selecting cherry wood for its grain, color and patina is truly exceptional. The spacious, eat-in custom island with its built-in cooktop offers convenient prep space and casual dining flexibility. In the dining area, you'll immediately notice more natural lighting pouring into the space that beautifully highlights the custom, built-in china cabinet. The craftsmanship and use of selected cherry hardwood is apparent here as well. From every angle, evidence of quality and attention to detail is obvious.
