The kitchen opens seamlessly to the impressive family room, anchored by a grand custom fireplace with detailed surround, coffered ceiling, custom built-ins, and a dry bar with beverage refrigerator. Beautiful solid oak hardwood floors, a custom staircase, upgraded millwork, crown molding, batten board wall details, coffered ceilings, solid-core doors, and other carefully selected finishes showcase the quality and craftsmanship throughout. The first floor also offers a full bathroom with shower, a well-appointed mudroom with custom built-ins directly off the heated two-car garage, and abundant storage.
