First Level

Upon entering the 2-story entrance foyer, visitors to the home are met with hardwood flooring and a staircase leading to the second floor. A traditional and open floor plan with separation between the formal and informal entertaining areas allows this house to strike the perfect balance between a cozy place to call home and a home that allows for formal entertaining or informal gatherings of family and friends. A large chandelier that can be easily lowered for cleaning or maintenance hangs above a decorative platform accented by a large window above the entrance that is the perfect place to display plants or seasonal decorations. The hardwood flooring continues seamlessly into the connecting spaces of the home.

 

The large dining room features two large windows, a chair rail moulding detail, a ceiling with decorative mouldings, and hardwood floors. The room effortlessly accommodates a table of twelve and other furniture. It can be accessed from the foyer through a large, welcoming doorway or across the main hall of the first floor through a large doorway from the kitchen.

 

The formal living room is on the opposite side of the foyer from the dining room. It features a large triple window overlooking the front yard, hardwood floors, and double French doors leading to the adjoining sunroom. The sunroom has large windows on all three walls (facing north, east, and west) and is another room that could fill many uses.

 

The spacious, gourmet kitchen features coordinating Bisque colored appliances including a Kenmore refrigerator, GE wall oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher. A custom granite island has cabinets for storage and a large breakfast bar. The kitchen also features a double undermount sink with nickel faucet with spray attachment, double door pantry. Sliding glass doors which both bring light into the kitchen and give a view of the patio and mature plantings of the property while enhancing the opportunities for indoor/outdoor entertaining in warmer months. The kitchen is separated from the family room by a half-wall which defines the spaces while maintaining the open lines of sight that characterize the first floor of the home.

 

The family room features soaring cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and hardwood floors. The focal point of the room is a gas-burning fireplace with wood mantle and slate surround accented by two stories of windows flanking each side of the fireplace.

 

A rear-facing room is currently used as an office and can also be used as a den, music room, library or additional bedroom. It features a double window overlooking the backyard, hardwood floors and a closet. This room is located off of the powder room hall, and as such could also be used as a guest room with easy access to the powder room.

 

The first floor is completed by a powder room which features a pedestal sink and hardwood floor. The first floor service area off of the kitchen serves as a mudroom with a double closet and is connected to the laundry room, and three-car garage.

The attached garage with additional storage has automatic door openers on each of the three bays and room for storage.

Exterior appointments also include paver walkways, mulched garden beds, colorful perennials, macadam driveway, and a private tiered paver patio surrounded by mature plantings.
