A welcoming foyer opens to a formal dining room, which flows into a spacious kitchen, with a large laundry/mudroom conveniently located off the main entry - perfect for country living. The heart of the home is the two-story living room, anchored by a striking stone fireplace with a natural wood mantle, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The first-floor primary suite offers privacy and ease, featuring a generous walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower. The first-floor office with custom built-ins, a powder room, and abundant storage, including a coat closet and linen storage, round out the main level. Wide-plank character hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and timeless charm. Upstairs, you'll find the remaining bedrooms and a shared hall bath, including one bedroom with an exceptionally large closet - ideal for a nursery, office, or creative space. A large, clean basement provides even more storage and flexibility. A wood-burning stove significantly reduces heating costs.
