The living room boasts triple windows overlooking the deck and a double-sided wood-burning fireplace with a heatilator for added comfort, which also enhances the adjacent sunlit dining room. The kitchen, with tasteful solid wood cabinetry and a large walk-in pantry, was designed with past renovations to provide practicality and style, including convenient features like a microwave shelf and an appliance garage. There is a HUGE Walk-up Attic for the utmost in storage convenience. All 4 bedrooms are spacious corner rooms, each with multiple windows and substantial floor-to-ceiling closets.
