This European manor offers an intricate hip-gable roof design with decorative dormers and arches. The exterior is complete with stone and stucco and a wrought iron balconet adorns the second-floor window. A courtyard and curved portico welcome guests to this elaborate residence.
Decorative niches frame the entry to the two-story foyer and a stunning curved staircase draws attention up. The dining room is open and framed by columns and leads into the two-story great room with fireplace and built-in shelving.
The master bedroom features rear porch access and is topped with a grand tray ceiling. Dual walk-in closets add grandeur to the master bathroom. A soaking tub is flanked by vanities and a large walk-in shower and linen closet are nearby. The bedroom/study has a cathedral ceiling and walk-in closet while a full bathroom is only steps away.
The two-car garage, with storage bays, opens to a mud room. The adjoining utility room features ample counter space and a sink. An island kitchen is open to the breakfast nook and hearth room which features a fireplace and display storage. A butler’s pantry and walk-in storage pantry service the kitchen and dining room. Homeowners will enjoy outdoor entertaining with a screened porch, featuring a cathedral ceiling and fireplace, a porch with attached gazebo, and a deck that leads to a patio and spa.
Upstairs, one bedroom offers a private bathroom while two additional bedrooms share a bath with separate entrances and vanities. The oversized bonus room provides opportunities for future expansion or storage.
