Expect the unexpected in this beautiful gem that calls you home.  Enter the home by walking through the manicured property from the brick walkway to the covered porch entrance and be greeted by a stunning 2 story foyer.   Boasting wonderful natural light through out the house, you will find the office study to your right with built in book shelves.  On the other side of the foyer is a step down to a spacious living room with soaring cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace surrounded by a lovely mantel. The high quality plantation shutters that you see here will be echoed through out the home.    From the living room, the space brings you to the formal dining room with direct views the large yard that is surrounded by woods that will not be developed.  This space is great for holiday meals, and can be suited for either large or intimate gatherings.  Next enter into the kitchen that has all the bells and whistles that you could want with out feeling overwhelmed with too much.  With just the right amount of luxury you can enjoy your SubZero refrigerator, Viking cooktop, Wolf double ovens and Bosch Dishwasher with a beautiful sink that looks out into the deck & outdoor kitchen.    The kitchen opens into the breakfast seating area with a more causal dining area, that also has views into the family room.
