A light-filled family room has sliders leading to a large deck that overlooks the spectacular backyard - perfect for relaxing. The kitchen with center island is open to the family room offering opportunity for seamless indoor entertaining. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a generous laundry/pantry room. Bedroom and full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the private primary suite with fireplace, spacious walk-in closet, a large full bath with greenhouse windows, and a balcony with serene views of the property offers the ultimate escape. Two additional bedrooms with a full bath, and a flexible-use sitting area provide room for work, study, or play.
