Welcome to this architecturally stunning 4,000+ sq ft residence nestled in the idyllic Stony Brook Development. This move-in-ready smart home is meticulously designed with 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a fully-finished basement, 3-car garage and private, wooded backyard on an expansive lot just over 1 acre.

The kitchen boasts high-end finishes, brand new cabinets, quartz countertops, modern appliances including a new stove with powerful hood, and a large center island. Set off in a private hallway on the main level is also a full bedroom, full bath, and laundry room, making multi-generational living an easy option! Upstairs, the primary suite is absolutely palatial, with high ceilings, double walk-in closets, an exquisitely designed private bath, and large attached sitting room with a beautiful palladium window framing the greenery outside, making it a perfect retreat for reading with your morning coffee, a private yoga studio or home office. The luxurious primary bath showcases a world-class, frameless glass-door shower plus separate soaking tub, dual sinks and an extra make-up vanity with LED lights, along with an electric fireplace, built-in heat lamp, towel warmer, Bluetooth speaker lightbulb, and skylight to set a relaxing, sumptuous mood. Rounding out the second floor are an additional full bath and 3 generously-sized bedrooms with their own WIC, each flooded with natural light. The fully-finished basement has 2 separate rooms, offering ample storage options and a large, versatile living area that can be tailored to suit your needs - whether as a family room, home theater, gym, or rec room. Step outside to beautifully designed landscaping, where a wooded backyard and double raised beds offer plenty of options for outdoor entertaining and gardening. Adjoining the property is a retention basin that is a neighborhood sledding attraction, offering a snowy wonderland in the winter season. Updated with all the conveniences of modern living, enjoy remote temperature control, digital and keyless entry, and wireless security monitoring. Solar panels ensure low monthly electricity bills.
