Specimen tree-lined calm encircles this home's happy blue facade, 3-bay barn, workshop, and shed. Guests are greeted by hardwoods and sunshine in a living room with a woodburning fireplace and a spacious dining room. The family room is accented by the vintage character of iron lift latches, a back staircase, and a wood stove with a brick hearth. A large screened porch adjoins, ready for an evening of sunsets and fireflies. Skylights brighten an expansive kitchen and breakfast room, complete with a brick fireplace and plenty of space to design the perfect scenario for the gourmet.
