Step into the inviting and relaxing "all seasons" front sun porch with newer Thermopane windows, vinyl planked flooring, heat and central air. Enter the formal living room with a wall-to-wall fireplace (with gas line and antique gas fixture) and built-in cabinets/shelving on both sides. The formal "bayed" dining room overlooks the open corner lot. Notice on the adjacent wall the beautiful original floor to ceiling oak hutch. Original hardwood floors, oak paneled doors, well-maintained oak windows/vintage trim and crown moldings throughout the first floor. Nice kitchen cabinetry with Corian counters, maple floors, movable island and plenty of walk-in pantry space for the Chef (built-in wall spice rack too). Have the convenience of a first-floor bedroom with full wall to wall closet and the first full bath is just down the hall. Completing this spacious first level of living space is a unique combination of a family room that extends like a second sunroom with 3 walls of windows overlooking the "All Organic Garden" and brick 2 car garage. The oak staircase takes you to the second level primary suite with nearly 25 running feet of closet space, primary bath with shower, coffee/wet bar, office/sitting room & a tandem room ideal for a nursery.

Relax and entertain in the private patio, read or meditate inside the pergola or work in the small green house. New Tear-off Architectural-shingled roof in 2016.
