Enter, and it becomes immediately clear: this house was designed for the kitchen. Not merely a place to cook, but the center of daily life where conversations shift the direction of tomorrow, and no one is ever left out of the moment.

Opposite, a living area invites relaxed conversation while remaining in sight and sound of others. And when a quieter moment calls, simply step down into the den, where the fireplace and scenic windows frame views of the lush back lawn and mature plantings. The main-level owner's suite is a private sanctuary, distinguished by a vaulted wood ceiling that echoes the wood beams and rich wood accents woven throughout the home. The spa-caliber bath features a soaking garden tub and a separate shower with wall, ceiling, and handheld fixtures. Because luxury lives in the details, the spacious main-level laundry room features full-size washer and dryer, folding table, sink, and natural light - proof that no corner of this home was left unconsidered.
