From the moment you arrive, the home’s grand scale and classic architectural details set the tone for refined living.

A spectacular two-story foyer welcomes you inside, filled with natural light and architectural presence. To one side, a distinguished parlor with a stamped tin ceiling and plush carpeting creates an inviting space for quiet conversation or intimate gatherings. Opposite the foyer, the formal dining room impresses with a tray ceiling and elegant detailing, ideal for hosting memorable dinners. French doors open to a private home office, while a conveniently located powder room adds everyday functionality.

The living room is a true showpiece, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone accent wall, and walls of windows that frame the surrounding landscape. A charming sitting ledge adds character, while a two-sided fireplace provides warmth and ambiance for both the living room and the adjacent kitchen.

At the heart of the home, the expansive gourmet kitchen is designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Highlights include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, an electric cooktop, two dishwashers, a beverage refrigerator, and extensive cabinetry. A large wrap-around island with seating for six anchors the space, complemented by specialty lighting and seamless flow into the main living areas. A dedicated laundry room completes the main level.

Upstairs, four bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide comfort and privacy. The primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat, featuring hardwood floors, a tray ceiling with specialty lighting, and French doors leading to a spacious dressing room. The ensuite bathroom offers dual vanities, a soaking tub beneath a picture window, and a large step-in shower with a multi-jet system. A walk-in closet with built-in shelving enhances both style and function. Three additional guest bedrooms share a beautifully finished full bathroom with marble accents and a tiled step-in shower.

The walkout lower level is an entertainer’s dream, thoughtfully designed for leisure and gatherings. This level includes a carpeted media room with projector, film screen, and surround sound, a game room with space for a pool table, and a striking double-sided fireplace. Hardwood floors with elegant inlay details extend throughout, alongside café-style seating and a full wet bar with seating for four and a beverage cooler. A full bathroom with a relaxing steam shower completes the space, while direct access leads to rear stairs and the backyard.

Outside, the expansive backyard offers ample space for future enhancements, including the potential for a pool. Newly planted privacy trees line the rear of the property, creating a serene and secluded setting. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with painted concrete flooring and convenient access to Routes 13 and 1, as well as nearby Silver Run and Augustine Wildlife Areas along the Delaware Bay.
