To the right, the elegant formal dining room showcases crown and chair rail molding, wainscoting, and a modern chandelier. A butler’s pantry just off the dining room provides additional cabinetry and counter space, perfect for a coffee bar or wine station. The heart of the home is the updated kitchen with white cabinetry, striking black tile backsplash, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances—including a GE Profile stove (2022), GE microwave (2025), and KitchenAid dishwasher (2021)—recessed lighting, and a built-in desk with pantry storage. The kitchen’s bay window with built-in bench seating offers unobstructed views of the pond. From here, flow seamlessly into the inviting family room featuring a wood-burning fireplace with display lighting, as well as the show-stopping vaulted sunroom addition—surrounded by windows that bring in incredible natural light and serene greenery views.
