A long, sweeping driveway creates a grand sense of arrival, welcoming you into an expansive six-bedroom, 5.2-bath residence crafted for refined living and high-end entertaining. Inside, the grand foyer showcases classic marble flooring that flows into the formal dining room, beautifully accented by architectural moldings and conveniently connected to a well-appointed butler's pantry. Across the foyer, the elegant living room features rich hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a handsome fireplace. A distinguished mahogany-paneled library with custom cabinetry and a bespoke rolling book ladder creates an exceptional executive office or private retreat.

The kitchen transitions seamlessly into a glass-wrapped sunroom overlooking the spectacular grounds. Two powder rooms and generous storage complete the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a private sanctuary with sweeping backyard views, a spacious sitting room with a third fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, an oversized shower, and a private water closet. An en-suite princess suite offers additional privacy, while two beautifully appointed bedrooms feature charming window seats, picturesque backyard views, and a shared Jack-and-Jill bath. A flexible fifth upper-level bedroom/bonus room offers endless possibilities, and the designer laundry suite is exceptionally appointed with abundant cabinetry and a center sorting island.
