Imagine feeling relaxed and ”on vacation” all summer long. Candlewood’s unassuming yet charming exterior belies both the home’s interior and the well-planned and private fun-filled back yard. This ”forever” home shines with beautiful hardwood floors, crown trim, spacious room sizes, amazing traffic flow and craftsmanship throughout. The open foyer shares access to the formal living room with a bay window and a glass door, perhaps a home office or a music room?

The semi-formal dining room is generous in size, has a large window bank, blending well with the open concept, state-of-the-art kitchen. The cabinetry is timeless, with solid surfaces, stainless sinks and appliances such as Thermador, Sub Zero, Bosch: This room is a gourmet’s delight, with its own walk-in pantry, and will not disappoint. There is snack bar kitchen eating, opening into the amenities of the adjoining family room.

The fireplace is just one of 3 focal points; the other two include a wall of built in cabinets with file drawers and a workstation, the French door leading to the exterior sundeck being the other. The mud room, powder room and laundry are well situated for traffic from both the backyard and the 700+ sq. foot attached garage. The lower level has a daylight window, a fully furnished kitchenette, a theater-gaming space, a 2nd family room, ½ bath, exercise room and 300+ sq. feet of storage.

The four bedrooms are together and share quality finishes and updated baths. The grand finale is the breath-taking fenced back yard to include a saline-water pool, hot tub, basketball court, graceful patio, and updated landscaping: It is a bit of heaven on earth.
