The kitchen is a chef's dream, showcasing granite counters, a tile backsplash, and a myriad of custom 42" Brook Haven oak cabinets with crowned uppers, along with quality stainless-steel appliances including a KitchenAid double oven, KitchenAid refrigerator, GE cooktop, KitchenAid microwave, and Bosch dishwasher. Envision preparing holiday meals or baking cookies together around the expansive center island with breakfast bar seating, complemented by additional bar seating beyond the island, while a built-in planner's desk adds a layer of everyday convenience. The sun-filled breakfast area offers peaceful backyard views and direct access to the deck, ideal for taking meals outdoors. Completely open to the kitchen, the family room keeps everyone connected and is accented by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace that creates a warm, inviting ambiance. A main-level half bath and mudroom complete the first floor.

Outdoor living is just as impressive, featuring a large deck, a patio with a built-in firepit, and a playset, all set against the serene backdrop of the pond.
