Distinguished by a stately stone and brick facade, the home opens to an expansive main level defined by ten-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and a versatile layout featuring a guest suite and a dedicated study perfect for a private home office. The gourmet kitchen serves as a culinary center with its six-burner gas range, stainless steel appliances, and glass front cabinetry, flowing seamlessly into a spacious family room anchored by a stone fireplace.
