The front entryway features a charming Dutch door and a roomy coat closet, leading into a grand living room where recently uncovered hardwood floors look amazing having been protected under carpet for years. These same floors continue under any remaining carpet on the main level. The living room boasts triple windows overlooking the deck and a double-sided wood-burning fireplace with a heatilator for added comfort, which also enhances the adjacent sunlit dining room. The kitchen, with tasteful solid wood cabinetry and a large walk-in pantry, was designed with past renovations to provide practicality and style, including convenient features like a microwave shelf and an appliance garage.
