The spacious kitchen offers tremendous flexibility, with a dedicated laundry area, work station, generous dining space beneath a distinctive turret like ceiling, and access to a wraparound deck. The elegant dining room features glass-front cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, and a folding door opening to the patio, creating an inviting setting for effortless summer entertaining.The expansive primary suite offers a fireplaced bedroom, full bath and a fireplaced private dressing room . Four additional bedrooms and a walk-up attic complete the second floor. The lower level features a knotty pine playroom with direct access to the rear grounds.
