Gleaming refinished original hardwood floors run through almost every part of the home including the large Living Room with recessed lighting, crown molding, wainscoting, and faux fireplace with stacked stone facade.

The first floor includes a Powder Room with wainscoting and modern vanity and Laundry/Mudroom, both with new in-wall heating units and tiled floors. Take refuge in the second floor's large Master Bedroom with random width hardwood floors, recessed lighting, crown molding, and an enormous attached tiled master bath with oversized walk-in stall shower and new rainfall shower head, claw foot soaking tub, two granite topped vanities with new Restoration Hardware medicine cabinets and lighting, wainscoting and crown molding. This level includes a second Bedroom with hardwood floors and a ceiling fan, a newer hall Bath with granite top vanity, beautiful tile floors with matching tile tub surround and wainscoting, and a new lighting fixture in the hall. The third floor offers two large Bedrooms with hardwood floors and ceiling fans ? one with a spacious attached Room that could be a playroom or office.
