The front porch flanked with mature trees invites you to slow down and enjoy a cup of coffee or swing the afternoon away. As you enter the grand foyer you are immediately captured by the soaring ceiling heights, , large light filled windows and gleaming hardwood floors found throughout formal living and dining room will host even the most formal affairs but are also the perfect place for a family game night or to read a good book by the large windows.
