About this home

A bright open foyer greets you as you enter this home, with the home unfolding from it. The large living room with large picture window, and fireplace are great focal points for the room. The dining room has an even larger picture window that over looks the front yard. Off to the side is the kitchen with its stainless appliances and access to the large screened in porch to the side of the home. Just a few steps down from the foyer is the large family room with a second fireplace. The wall of built-in bookcases provides lots of storage. The slider provides easy access to the patio and rear yard beyond. There is a full bath and bedroom on this level as well as access to the two car garage. The other three bedrooms including the master suite are on the second level. The master has a recently renovated bathroom and good size closets. The basement is partially finished with a recreation room and laundry. There are hardwood floors throughout the home. The rear yard is large and there is a shed for storage.
