This exquisite residence spans 5,516 finished square feet across three floors with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Upon entry, guests are greeted by a grand foyer showcasing a traditional open staircase adorned with wood-painted balusters and spindles, exuding classic elegance. The main floor hosts a primary suite, ensuring comfort and accessibility. Along with that, the laundry room is conveniently located on the main floor. Traditional spaces galore with the formal dining room, office, butler pantry, and dry goods pantry add to the home’s traditional yet sophisticated functionality.

The home exudes Marvin windows painted white with gridded detailing that flood the home with natural light, making the sunroom feel like a serene retreat. White oak hardwood floors, custom-stained, complement the traditional 3.5” paint-grade casing with backband and cove, enhancing the home’s timeless appeal. The exterior is a testament to traditional craftsmanship, with Hardie shake siding and board and batten adorning the gambrel gables and a Jack Arnold chimney cap providing a distinctive finish.

The property also features a stunning 20×40 concrete-edge pool with a Marina blue vinyl liner, encased by granite boulder retaining walls and a vast 2,029-square-foot pool deck, ideal for relaxation and entertainment. The sunroom’s floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and the outdoor grill deck with a unique Twin City Brick and Stone Blend further enhance the living experience. The outdoor kitchen, equipped with a Blaze 44” 4-Burner Professional Grill and black leathered granite countertops, offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining.

The comfort of the home extends downstairs. In the basement, guests can see a hunting wall adorned with the homeowner’s decoy collection. The lower level also includes an exercise room and a man cave.

Aging-in-place features include an elevator, a main floor primary suite, wider doorways, and backing behind the walls in appropriate places for grab bars to be added later.

This residence is a true legacy of traditional craftsmanship and enduring design, perfectly blending elegance with modern functionality.
