Elegant Colonial-style single-family residence nestled in sought-after Orchard Knolls. An impressive 4,735 finished square feet showcases a beautifully appointed interior filled with sophisticated columns, custom millwork, expert craftsmanship, luxury finishes, and bright, open living spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. // Rich hardwood floors span much of the traditional main level, beginning in the grand two-story foyer, where a statement chandelier creates a striking first impression. Convenient coat closets flank the front entry, while the foyer opens to a spacious formal living room on one side and an elegant formal dining room on the other, accented by chair railing and a timeless chandelier. Continue into the stunning eat-in kitchen, thoughtfully updated in 2016. Designed with both style and function in mind, it features an oversized island with breakfast bar seating, upgraded countertops, hardwood flooring, a writing station, and stainless steel appliances, including a Samsung® Family Hub(TM) smart refrigerator and dishwasher replaced in 2023, and a GE Profile® microwave and oven also replaced in 2023. The adjoining breakfast room provides a bright, inviting space for casual dining. Hardwood flooring continues into the breathtaking two-story family room, where soaring ceilings, dramatic upper and lower windows, and a floor-to-ceiling brick, wood-burning fireplace create a spectacular focal point that can be admired from the oversized Romeo & Juliet balcony. Nearby, a powder room updated in 2016, a private study accessed through French doors with custom built-ins, and a laundry room equipped with a Maytag® washer and dryer add everyday convenience. // Upstairs, the luxurious owner's suite serves as a private retreat, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, a spacious sitting area, and a beautifully appointed ensuite bath complete with a large corner jetted soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanities, skylights, a private water closet, and two walk-in closets; one with a convenient laundry chute. Three additional generously sized, carpeted bedrooms share a full bathroom showcasing eye-catching tilework and a Jason spa tub with micro-silk feature. With micro-silk, you never have to add warm water to enjoy a long, warm bath. Both upper-level bathrooms were tastefully updated in 2018. // The finished walk-up lower level expands the home's living space with an expansive recreation room centered around a dual-sided gas fireplace. Multiple distinct areas provide endless flexibility for a media room, game room, fitness area, or playroom. A full bathroom and abundant storage complete this level.

Multiple existing exterior access points make it easy to add a future deck, balcony, or patio, while mature landscaping enhances the peaceful setting. The newly extended driveway with a turnaround, added in 2020, provides ample parking for six or more vehicles. // Set in the desirable Orchard Knolls community, this exceptional home offers the perfect balance of peaceful neighborhood living and everyday convenience.
