The spacious kitchen features warm maple cabinetry, granite countertops, a center prep island with sink, and a charming breakfast area overlooking the pool and grounds. The impressive family room, with its soaring ceilings and walls of windows, creates a wonderful gathering space for entertaining or simply relaxing while taking in the scenery. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes three bedrooms on the main level, two with en-suite baths, offering flexibility for family, guests, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a treehouse retreat, with picturesque, wooded views from its elevated setting. This spacious haven features two walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed bath with dual sinks, stone countertops, a separate vanity area, walk-in shower, and a garden soaking tub with a lovely view of the trees.
