Offering 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the floor plan is open and efficient. Main level highlights include: 8-foot doors; a private office; a large living room with a charred cypress accent wall, discreet storage, and a 2-sided corner gas fireplace; an airy dining area with a sleek linear pendant light; a European dream kitchen with custom Marfa handleless cabinetry, an oversized contrasting center island, elegant quartz countertops and backsplash, Bosch stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry; a mudroom with a built-in bench and cubbies against a shiplap wall; glass door access to the rear grounds. Flanked by a white oak slat wall and illuminated by oversized picture windows, the semi-open staircase ascends to the home's upper level which offers a spacious primary retreat with an office alcove, 2 walk-in closets, and a gorgeous spa-like bathroom with a free-standing soaking tub, a curbless walk-in glass shower and double floating vanities. Two additional ample bedrooms, each with stylish ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets, grace the front of the house.
