The vintage kitchen is bright and spacious, offering a sitting room and a mud room extension with skylight and brick floor. Sliding glass doors from the breakfast area open onto the beautiful veranda where al fresco dining is magical . A conveniently located powder room completes the first floor. A large master bedroom with adjacent full bath and three secondary bedrooms and full bath comprise the next level and two delightful bedrooms and full bath are found on the third floor. This 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath historic home with a 1979 modification designed by Robert Bennett truly offers functionality. Enjoy a half-acre landscaped property with lovely yard and a 2-car detached garage. This quiet location, with proximity to town, Springdale Golf Course and the University is superb!
