The expansive EP Henry paver pool decking, patio, and walkway provide lots of space to entertain outdoors.
Upon entering the home, you are immediately drawn to the enormous crystal chandelier, hardwood staircase with open steel and brass wraparound railing extending 3 stories. A living room/flex space enclosed with 2 sets of glass doors and the dining room with gas fireplace and 2 sets of arched glass doors flank the foyer. 2 coat closets in the foyer provide plenty of storage.

There is a set of sliding glass doors from the kitchen into the screen porch that opens to the fenced pool area. Step down from the kitchen into the great room with wood burning fireplace and media center with surround system and custom oak built-ins. Sliding doors into the screen porch are most convenient. This flexible floor plan is sure to please. Down the hall past the powder room is a mudroom with access to the backyard. The bonus room off the garage entry offers access to the 2nd floor and the basement.

Continue down the hall to find 3 linen closets, laundry room, 2 more bedrooms and the rear staircase.
The third floor with its cozy reading nook is away from the bustle of the rest of the house. 2 cedar closets, a bedroom with separate workspace, walk-in cedar closet and an additional bedroom with access to the utility/storage room complete the 3rd floor.
