The foyer welcomes you into the formal dining room, where a tray ceiling and chair rail molding are highlighted by a stunning millwork-trimmed column that artfully separates the space from the light-filled great room. Here, a gas fireplace with a sleek tile surround serves as the centerpiece, flanked by custom built-ins that add both functionality and charm. The great room transitions effortlessly into the sunroom, a standout retreat featuring a stamped concrete floor, an exposed whitewashed brick wall, and a wood slat ceiling that continues down one wall, enhancing the room's cozy ambiance. From here, the enchanting backyard comes into view, where a serene gazing pond completes the picturesque oasis, inviting relaxation and reflection. Adjacent to the family room is the well-appointed kitchen, a space designed for both functionality and style. Granite counters and tile backsplash add style, while stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry, including pantry storage and a built-in hutch, provide convenience and practicality.
