Expansive windows flood the open-concept living space with natural light, highlighting the vaulted ceilings, tongue-and-groove accents, and shiplap walls. The stacked stone gas fireplace in the living area creates a cozy atmosphere, while the large covered deck extends your living space outdoors. Outside, a second stacked stone, wood-burning fireplace provides warmth on cool evenings, and plenty of space invites you to entertain or simply relax. The chef's kitchen is a dream, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious island with seating for everyone. Throughout the home, hardwood floors add sophistication, with the exception of the tiled wet rooms. The main floor also includes two luxurious bedroom suites, each with private deck access and en suites boasting live-edge vanities, hammered copper sinks, and one with a glass step-in shower, the other with a freestanding tub—perfect for ultimate relaxation. On the terrace level, a third bedroom enjoys private access to a screened deck, and the bar/den area is ideal for entertaining or unwinding. An external staircase connects the upper and lower decks, where the lower level offers another fireplace, a hot tub, and ample seating for enjoying the outdoors in comfort.
