The main level has vaulted ceilings and open concept living. The kitchen is well-equipped with granite countertops, double wall ovens, plenty of cabinets, a lovely island to take in the view while one entertains and a pantry/laundry/mudroom conveniently located off the kitchen. The family room and dining room flow seamlessly together, fantastic for family and friends to gather. A beautiful stacked stone fireplace adorns the family room. Lovely covered and open porch off the main level. The primary bedroom is situated above the main level with a custom-built wrought-iron stairwell. The lower level has two bedrooms and one full bath. One of the bedrooms has a quaint sitting area with a gas fireplace and a separate entrance with a covered porch. The current owners set up the large one-bedroom as an Airbnb and had great success. 2.69 unrestricted acres have a lot of options for gardens or to add on to the property. Two storage areas onsite, and there is a workshop on the lower level.
