The kitchen's cherry cabinetry, granite counters, center island with gas range, and breakfast area create the heart of the home. Off the kitchen is the family room with wood stove insert in the stone fireplace, and a wall of windows pulling in sun and warmth on cold wintry days, For summer pleasure, there's a large sunroom off the kitchen opening to a patio for al fresco dining. Two half baths, pantry with lots of storage, and laundry room complete this main level. Upstairs are 3 nice sized bedrooms, one with an inviting sleeping or reading nook, and a hall bath. The surprise lower level offers something for everyone. There's an office/studio with private entrance , another room which could be a 5th bedroom, a full bath, rec room, workshop, and storage area. There are hidden stairs from the front of the house to the office entrance and the walled Zen Garden. The backyard is completely fenced , with a storage shed. The way the house nestles into the land, the idyllic views from every room, and the nature all around make this a very special place to live..
