The main floor boasts a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a well-appointed wet bar, and an abundance of windows that fill the space with natural light.

This remarkable residence features five bedrooms and six full bathrooms, encompassing close to 8,000 square feet of finely finished living space.

The lower level reveals a fully-equipped in-law suite complete with a full kitchen, living area, two bedrooms, and a bath, all designed with the same rich character and attention to detail. A separate entrance provides privacy, making it ideal for multigenerational living or as a rental opportunity. Additionally, this level features a versatile game room, complete with a Murphy bed, adding even more functionality to this exquisite home.
