A sunlit kitchen with stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, hidden pantry, and access to the back deck for summer nights grilling and playing. Formal dining room with wood burning fireplace for winter dining ambiance and main floor bedroom or study with private bath play supporting role to the graciously sized living rooms - one for cozy reading and hanging by the wood fire, another for hosting a crowd, watching a sporting event, and everyday lounging.

Second floor also includes two en-suite bedrooms, charming historic detailing, a small playroom, and unfinished attic storage.
