Enter the home through the gorgeous, expansive formal living room which features covered beams, a beautiful fireplace and hearth flanked by built-in cabinets and shelving, large sun filled windows, a staircase to the second floor and deep coat closet. On your right you will find a lovely dining room with large windows and a perfectly placed built-in corner cabinet for both display and storage. Off the dining room, the kitchen is bright and cheerful and has ample painted white cabinets, newer stainless appliances, a workstation and eating area. Just through the kitchen via pocket door, there is a large family room addition that boasts large closets, a full bathroom with stall shower, built-in shelving and desk, newly replaced Anderson sliding doors to the fabulous deck and also has convenient access to the mudroom and driveway which makes unloading groceries a breeze! As you head to the 2nd floor, you will enjoy the views from the window atop the landing of the eye-catching, half turn staircase to find three bedrooms and a full hall bathroom with tub. The main bedroom features four closets and a split cooling system (there is central air throughout the first floor) and the additional 2 bedrooms are both adequately sized and feature ample closet space. The third-floor 10' x 30' bonus room is amazing usable space, -- perfect as a playroom, art studio or home office plus there is fabulous storage! The clean, dry basement houses the laundry and utilities and there is plenty of room for storage. This home also has a rare two car garage. The location of this home is unsurpassed.
