The 2nd floor primary suite was also reconfigured to have a sitting room, private deck overlooking the yard, his and hers vanities and dressing rooms; closet space is not an issue in this house, especially not in this suite! 3 additional bedrooms all ensuite and an ample 2nd floor sitting room, which could easily double as a 5th bedroom, as well as a 2nd floor laundry center complete this floor. On the 1st floor, the graciousness of the home is apparent, with the wide and welcoming foyer, that draws one instantly to the richly paneled family room overlooking the private and peaceful grounds.
