About this home

… before you read this, did you look at the photos? Because we truly think they say it all. This home is a S-H-O-W-S-T-O-P-P-E-R! We've set the bar high, but for good reason. Built in 2017 upon its wooded lot is this four bedroom beauty. Offering 3 levels of space finished to perfection. Enter in to the gracious foyer and be greeted by a home office on your left. To your right you'll be lead into the fireplaced living room that opens up directly to the dining room and kitchen. This space is made for those who love to entertain. The large center island with mahogany top is the statement of this space but you'll also appreciate the Jenn-Air appliances including the beloved countertop range and double wall ovens. The 4 bedrooms are all found on the second level including the master suite with full bathroom and walk-in closet. The media room in the lower level with wet bar and 1/2 bath rounds out just a few of this homes many highlights. You don't want to let this one pass you by.
