The kitchen boasts a generous amount of oak cabinetry, built-in dishwasher and microwave, and a built-in desk. The kitchen overlooks the great room with informal dining area, cozy wood-burning fireplace, and patio doors to a backyard paver-block patio. If you prefer a bit more formal setting, enjoy the elegant formal living/ dining room with large bay window that brings in lots of daylight. Retire to your private master suite with full master bath and walk-in closet. There are 2 additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a laundry with half bath on the main floor - plus lots of built-in storage space. The finished lower level is fantastic for entertaining with a large family room (with supplemental electric heat), a rec room, an office/den (which could easily be a 4th bedroom with addition of an egress window) and a 3/4 bath. Need some space for crafts or just to putter? The basement workshop boasts built-in cabinetry and lots of storage. An oversized double attached garage, steel siding, newer gas forced air furnace (2009) with electronic filter, central air, interior and exterior sump pump, gas-powered backup generator and a stair lift (negotiable) all show the quality and careful maintenance the owners have invested in this property.
