The view as you walk in is of a stately but comfortable living room with a full masonary fireplace, crown molding, plenty of natural light from updated thermal windows. Just off the living room is a den/ office that has its own exterior door offering a small home based business a place to greet clients....

The solid surface countertops look rich and durable, the island inviting for gathering around, sharing memories. Glass front upper cabinets offer a touch of class.
