The house is a delightful combination of period decorating mixed with modern updates. The kitchen was given a complete makeover to create an amazing living, cooking and working environment while still staying true to the original architecture. Past the kitchen and down a step is the bright cheery sunroom offering amazing views of the private yard, access to the expansive deck and the perfect relaxing space. The living room with its steep cathedral beamed ceilings offers an amazing gathering space. The floor to ceiling fireplace is a beautiful focal point in the room and offsets the stunning built-in cabinets on the opposite wall. There is a main floor bedroom with a private full bath and a spacious dining room that complete this level.
