Most recently, the owners added a 2-story addition giving the house a large Family Room and 2 additional bedroom. The heating, cooling, roofing, and all major systems have been replaced. This home is an entertainers dream with a welcoming entry hall, large scale formal and informal rooms, all drenched in natural light.
