Adjacent to the living room is a cozy family room with a gas fire place flanked by custom built in bookcases on both sides. The large bay window overlooks a charming backyard. The kitchen was partially renovated with taking down a wall and creating another versatile room for a home office, arts and crafts room or whatever your family needs are. Newer honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, 5 burner cooktop, two wall ovens, an island large enough for morning breakfast and afternoon homework and a built in desk complete the kitchen. The bay window and wet bar offer additional amenities in the kitchen area.
