A heated, knotty pine sunroom overlooks the expansive yard with a patio and magnificent sprawling copper beech tree and other greenery. An office, half bath complete the 1st floor. The 2d floor has 3 bedrooms (a wall was removed to make a large primary bedroom) and 2 full baths. One underground garage with driveway parking.
