With 2,200+ square feet you have room to roam yet aren't overwhelmed by the size. First floor has a generous sized, eat-in kitchen that overlooks living room. The cathedral ceiling and skylights gives the living room a grand feel with natural light all day long. Stone fireplace with wood insert, sliding glass doors to the wrap around porch, all overlooking the larger pond. Main floor bedroom has a private access to the deck.
