A masterfully designed 3 story addition, by renowned architect Al Bol, puts this 5 Bedroom, 3.1 bath home in a league of its own. Featuring a grand cathedral & beamed ceiling living room, with balconies overlooking 2 blue stone patios and a deep, private yard with stone walls and tiers of perennial plantings and outdoor speakers. The custom kitchen has slate counters, stainless appliances, a center island with seating for 6, and built-in window seat.

All of this opens to a family room and back stairs to the 2nd floor and a walk-out ground level with 3 bedrooms and a wisteria covered open porch. Besides 3 zone gas heat and central air conditioning, a double wide paver driveway and front walk, there are all new Marvin windows, a new red roof, stained glass details, and handsome woodwork that fills this custom home with images of England.  A deluxe master bedroom suite with a study offers privacy upstairs and the floor plan works well for a multi-generational family with room for everyone.
