Rich in natural light, the family room has a gas fireplace and custom millwork bookcases and cabinets that accommodate the home's audio and visual system. Tandem to the kitchen is a generously sized dining room. French doors from each of the dining and family rooms, as well as an additional door from the breakfast area open to an inviting bluestone patio and lush, private back yard.
