The inviting living room features a fireplace, perfect for gatherings, while the sunroom—with its skylights, separate heat/AC unit, and breathtaking views—offers a serene backdrop of the yard, garden, and frequent visits from deer and other wildlife. The family room is a showstopper, boasting cathedral ceilings accented with rustic wood beams. A private library, complete with hardwood floors and built-in bookcases, provides a quiet space for work or reading, and opens to a large patio ideal for entertaining. The unique hot tub room overlooks the yard, creating a spa-like retreat in your own home. The updated kitchen is designed for both style and function, featuring quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, a built-in microwave, stainless steel appliances—including a gas range and refrigerator—and a modern layout that makes cooking a joy. An added convenience is the electric car charging unit, making this home as practical as it is beautiful.
