The streamlined kitchen has premium appliances. There are 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a lower level studio with a separate entrance, which has recreation and laundry rooms. There are newer utilities and windows, 200 amps, 4 heat zones and 3 fireplaces which combine to provide a sense of comfort and luxury.
