The dining room has an original built in china closet and plenty of room to entertain. The eat in kitchen has plenty of cabinet and counter space plus 1st floor laundry. The highlight of the house is the magnificent family room located at the back featuring beamed vaulted ceiling, fireplace and built in bookcases.

The lower level has also been finished for Game/Media room. Outside you'll find a private English style courtyard of Bluestone pavers and pea gravel looking down over the manicured lower yard. Truly a well cared for property.
