This classic, two-owner home has been lovingly cared for and routinely updated with great consideration for retaining it's original character and details . Enter through the convenient side door into a light filled entryway with cozy reading nook that could easily be reconfigured to a mudroom if desired. The expansive great room lies ahead along with an open chef's kitchen that is an absolute entertainers delight. The kitchen boasts a double wall oven, gas cooktop and plenty of space for preparation and serving. The chef will never be alone on holidays or when entertaining as the spacious countertop bar easily accommodates 4 stools and is wide open to the great room and dining area. The half bath has adjacent buildable space to accommodate a 3x6 shower that was planned during the 2012 great room addition but never built. The three upstairs bedrooms are cozy and charming with interesting ceilings under the eaves. Working from home will be a breeze with lots of options for a home office on either floor. One of the great original features that has been lovingly maintained is the screen porch; step out from the living room onto the breezy porch where you can feast your eyes on the lushly landscaped backyard and enjoy a cool drink or relax with a good book. This beauty will not last!
