An expansive chef's kitchen for entertaining has solid surface countertops, custom cabinetry, island, built-ins, separate large walk-in pantry as well as a solid bank of large windows / doors allowing light and unobstructed views of the back yard. Bright and cheery eat-in breakfast and seating area, access to laundry room, powder room, and two-car garage beyond. Generous screened porch off back of house serves as an addition room for much of the year. Sophisticated study / den / addition room with dedicated full bathroom and amble closet spaces next to private primary suite with fireplace and screened porch access.
