High ceilings, hardwoods, original trim, doors, and hardware, beautifully detailed main staircase, as well as a secret second stairway. The classic updated chef's kitchen entails peninsula dining, heated floors, stainless appliances, stone countertops, multiple pantry areas, as well as an enclosed cubby/seating area near the entrance! The second level consists of 5 bedrooms, second level laundry, 2 full baths, (renovated primary bath has a soaker tub, tile walk-in shower, and heated floors).
