The sunroom (currently being used as an office) also leads to the side yard and woodshed. The dining room features a stunning crystal chandelier that is truly a work of art! Continue through the foyer to the renovated open floor plan gourmet kitchen and family room. Off the kitchen is a butler's pantry with a built-in corner cabinet with glass doors as well as extra closet space. The gourmet eat-in kitchen features a stainless steel Wolf 6 burner gas range with double oven. The white subway tile backsplash set off by stone countertops. The raised island with second sink provides additional storage and seating for three. Open to the kitchen is the large family room that provides access to the fenced in backyard.
