Encompassing over 6,100 square feet, this grand home offers exceptional scale, classic architecture, and the opportunity to tailor it to your personal vision. A circular drive, rocking chair front porch, and commanding columns create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, a dramatic foyer and sweeping staircase are flanked by generous formal living and dining rooms, designed for elegant entertaining. The dining room showcases beautiful built-ins, while the spacious eat-in kitchen features a center island, abundant natural light, and premium appliances including SubZero, Thermador, and double ovens. Expansive pantry space, additional laundry/storage, and a rear staircase enhance functionality. The main level also offers a warm den with fireplace and bar, screened porch access, and a private study or guest suite with full bath.
