Tucked away on 3.18 wooded acres in the highly desirable community of The Willows, this impressive Colonial offers over 6,100 finished square feet of beautifully designed living space with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and an incredible blend of elegance, warmth, and functionality. From the moment you enter the two-story foyer with its sweeping curved staircase, hardwood flooring, and full-length windows, this home makes a statement. Formal living and dining rooms showcase extensive molding details, while the spacious family room with gas fireplace creates the perfect gathering space. A private office with bay window and French doors plus a rear staircase add both flexibility and convenience. The gourmet kitchen is truly the heart of the home and designed for entertaining, featuring a large center island, breakfast bar, Butler's pantry with wine rack, oversized walk-in pantry, 5-burner gas cooktop, wall oven, built-in microwave, breakfast area, and built-in desk area with overhead shelving. The mudroom/laundry room includes cabinetry and sink for added everyday function. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like a private retreat with tray ceiling, sitting room, walk-in closet, and luxury bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and his/her vanities. Bedrooms two and three share a Jack and Jill bath with separate vanities, while the 4th bedroom has access to hall bath. The walkout lower level offers even more living space with a large recreation room featuring a gas fireplace and bay windows, media area, den area, full bath with tile flooring and tile surround, plus extensive storage space. Step outside and you may never want to leave. The backyard setting is exceptional with mature trees, an expansive deck, in-ground pool with diving board, shed, and a private cul-de-sac location that feels like your own retreat while still being minutes from shopping, dining, major roadways, and the new high school. Extensive recent improvements include HVAC systems, architectural shingle roof, electrical panel with surge protectors, water heater, deck, sliding door, garage door, gutters, appliances, and more - with over $135,000 invested in updates and major system improvements. Homes with this combination of space, setting, updates, and character are a gem!
