The formal dining room has a built in sideboard and upper cabinets with leaded and stained glass doors. Note the beautiful wood molding on the doors and entrances. The large kitchen has many cabinets, table space, garden window, and sliding glass doors to a very large deck which overlooks a brick patio area and lots of green space - great for entertaining.
