Off of the kitchen enjoy alfresco dining on the large walled bluestone patio. Open and incredibly gorgeous formal rooms (living, dining, family room, & bedroom) with custom built-ins, French doors & an oversized fireplace with hardwood floors on both the 1st & 2nd floors are all here to enjoy. Upstairs, 4 large bedrooms and 2 baths await you. The lower level has a separate bedroom suite with its own exterior access (this could be a 6th bedroom). There is also a home gym with exterior access. A new heating & AC system was added only a couple of years ago.
