Just off the kitchen is a nice size laundry room area which also has the gas furnace in an in-closed closet. on the other side of the laundry room is another room that could be used as an office which has spiral stairs leading to the large (40x14) media room on the 2nd level with built-in cabinets. The large 32x17 sun-room is amazing! Vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, 4 ceiling light/fan combos, tile flooring and it's own separate heating system which was installed 2014.
