Kitchen was remodeled in 2009 and features darker granite counters, tile flooring and 42'' custom maple cabinetry. Family room is a true GREAT room. The sunken spacious room (20' x 24') has access from both the mudroom and dining room and features gorgeous vaulted ceilings, sky lights and oversized windows letting in so much natural light and providing sight lines to the deck and backyard. This room is bright and modern but has some classical touches like the Italian tile facing of the wood burning fireplace, with a tiled hearth. Full dining room opens to the kitchen, living room and great room, although can be closed from the great room with two heavy pocket doors decorated with beveled glass. Second level shares one full bath, one full bath in the basement and a powder room between the kitchen, mud room, and family room. Home has so much charm with a quintessential arched doorway between living and dining room, beautiful pine and maple hardwood flooring throughout, crown molding and an adorable enclosed front porch just perfect for summer nights. A wood deck provides an outdoor dining space and transitions the back door to a beautifully landscaped backyard. A flagstone walkway and planter beds lead to an enchanting and secluded sitting area under the canopy of a mature locust tree, one of three mature trees in the backyard.
