Torn between town and country living? Live both dreams to the fullest at this sunny home on a sprawling park-like lot at The Pines at Pennington development of 16 custom homes within steps of schools and just a mile from town. A 2.29-acre yard allows for a stately front lawn with still plenty of land around back. Countless trees provide a beautiful backdrop and offer total privacy while dining on the ipe-wood deck. A thriving magnolia is heavy with blooms in spring and wisteria coils up a pergola for dappled summer shade. Inside, wood floors, built-ins and plenty of recessed lighting combine for classic good looks and functionality. In addition to the formal rooms off the 2-story entry, the family room is especially inviting with a fireplace and just the right amount of separation from the kitchen. With a granite-topped island, new fridge and an enormous walk-in pantry, the kitchen serves even the demanding needs of its current owner, a professional chef! A roomy half-bath, a quiet office behind French doors and the laundry room complete the main level. High-end extras, like Hunter Douglas blinds and California Closets, continue upstairs, where you'll find 4 bedrooms. The main suite has a sitting room and lovely views through triple windows. Both the hall bath and main bath are tiled in bright white. Be sure to check out the plentiful storage, including a cedar walk-in, down in the finished basement, and don't skip the 3-car garage, which got all new doors in 2018!
