This generous space is filled with front to back sunlight through a unique stained-glass door on the Vassar side of the property. A decorated sandstone corner fireplace adorns the formal dining room. Skylights and generous windows fill the large kitchen with soft light. This charming room has space for an island or long table, and a wall of windows overlooking the wisteria draped deck and lawn.
