Inside, you will be delighted at the craftsmanship from the wood floors, to the detail of the trim on the main floor featuring to your left, an office / bedroom with custom built-in bookcases; and an on-suite bathroom, then onto the fabulous oversized, open kitchen, dining and living areas.
The kitchen island is a striking 7 x 9, enabling plenty room for storage, along with a separate beverage refrigerator and ice maker. Prepare amazing meals on your GE professional 48" double-oven range with a pot filler with plenty storage in your 5 x 7 walk-in pantry. Here you have the ease of entertaining with your screened porches and stairs just out the side door where you can exit to access the garage and a outdoor storage closet with an upright freezer.
