The dramatic main living area features soaring vaulted ceiling, skylights, a striking brick fireplace with flanking built in cabinetry and multiple sliding doors open to a bluestone patio and spacious, private backyard that feels peaceful and secluded. The spacious kitchen features a large center island, abundant cabinetry, huge walk-in pantry and an expansive dining area all in one open space.The main level features two spacious bedroom suites, each with a private bath and walk-in closet, plus a third bedroom currently used as an office.

Upstairs, the approximately 641 sq ft loft provides even more flexible space with an adjacent unfinished room that can potentially become a fourth bedroom with it's own bath. The enormous unfinished basement offers tremendous potential for future finished living and recreation space, with owners having already begun the process by adding a bathroom with tub, toilet, and sink.
