About This Home

An amazing opportunity to own this stately home set on a serene .99 acre lot. This exceptional residence offers endless potential to make it truly your own. You'll be immediately impressed upon entering the grand oval foyer, featuring a stunning, welcoming open staircase. From there, enjoy views into the spacious step down living room anchored by a beautiful gas fireplace. The ornate crown moldings add to the tremendous character of the room. The elegant formal dining room, located just off the kitchen, showcases lavish crown molding and a large picture window that fills the space with natural light. The expansive kitchen features a generous island and a bright breakfast area, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The family room is also nicely sized, providing additional comfortable living space as well as a wet bar and cozy wood burning fireplace with a gas start. There are sliding glass doors from the family room to the yard. The home offers five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. The primary suite is generously proportioned and includes a massive private bath. There is a 1st floor laundry room with a wash tub and access to the yard..
