Meticulously maintained inside & out. The Main Living areas center informally on the kitchen which has updated cabinetry, granite counters and Stainless steel appliances. There is a Half Wall & Column Supporting Arch/Transom Providing Separation Between Kitchen and Dining Room, but leaving it open for entertaining. Step out-side through sliders to your beautiful private brick patio with a variety of plantings & flowers to enjoy your morning coffee. The over-sized living room contains a large picture window, a wood burning fireplace & provides access to a 4 season porch w/sliders & a charming wall of stone where you could work or watch a program without being disturbed. A total of three bedrooms & 2 baths; the sizeable ensuite primary bedroom leads to an office/laundry room. An addition of a three season porch 16x23 w/partial kitchen & newer windows overlooks the backyard was used for family holidays & get togethers. Built with 7.5 inch outer walls completely insulated keeping heating and cooling economical. Full basement that has stayed dry throughout the years has a fireplace, would make excellent living space. At the exterior, the detached two car garage & house orientation (Back from the Road) establishes the front yard as usable space, with natural landscaping that allows for both privacy & views from the large front picture window. Only 2 miles to Wallis Sands Beach.
