To one side, the formal living room flows seamlessly into the elegant dining room, highlighted by a classic chandelier and refined finishes, creating the perfect setting for gatherings. Opposite the foyer, French doors open to a private study, providing an ideal space for a home office or library. // The gourmet eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home. It features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, including double wall ovens and a microwave drawer, a center island with pendant lighting and large, one-level breakfast bar seating, a custom tile backsplash, and a spacious pantry. The kitchen opens to a stunning custom morning room addition completed in 2013, where soaring vaulted ceilings, Palladian windows, a built-in coffee bar with beverage refrigerator, and sliding glass doors to both decks create a bright and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond the kitchen, the expansive family room is filled with natural light from oversized windows and centered around a cozy gas fireplace. A conveniently located powder room and a well-designed mudroom/laundry room featuring a stacked washer and dryer, cubby storage, and garage access complete the main level. // The luxurious owner's suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a tray ceiling, spacious sitting room, walk-in closet, and a beautiful ensuite bath featuring premium Carrara finishes, a dual-sink vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and private water closet. Two secondary bedrooms share an updated dual-entry bathroom renovated in 2024, while another bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own ensuite bath. The uppermost level offers exceptional flexibility with a private fifth bedroom featuring vaulted ceilings, an updated full bathroom (2024), and a versatile loft ideal for a playroom or lounge. // Designed with entertaining in mind, the fully finished walk-out lower level features an expansive recreation room, a built-in bar area with a refrigerator, an additional dry bar with a built-in workstation and extensive cabinetry, a full bathroom, and a dedicated home theater behind French doors complete with a projector and screen. A separate fitness room and generous storage areas further enhance the functionality of this impressive level. // Outdoor living is equally impressive with two low-maintenance composite decks, including one accented by a charming pergola, all overlooking a peaceful wooded backdrop that creates a private, tranquil retreat. Below, the backyard is designed for gathering and relaxation with a stone fire pit area, a dedicated firewood storage shed, and an additional storage shed tucked beneath the deck for added convenience. // Ideally situated in Taylor Farm, this home offers HOA access to the Waverly Woods Community Center and outdoor pool, while placing you just minutes from everyday conveniences, dining, golf, and the local favorite: Woodstock Snowball Stand.
