A classic example of 1880's architecture, our large home, is fully and tastefully restored with a deep respect for its place in American history. Our airy, light filled 4 bedroom 3 bath home has 2 staircases, and multiple sitting areas to relax and unwind, inside and out, making it ideal for 2 families or extended family gatherings. We have a screened-in front porch, large back deck, media/play room with tv, games, and puzzle table, as well as a grassy, flat yard with pool. Please no smoking. Welcome to our home. We are excited to share it with you, and hope you love it as much as we do! Enter from the Mudroom into the brand new chefs kitchen with bar/table seating for 12, as well as coffee station, half bathroom, and huge sliding doors to the raised back deck. The private deck has a 6 burner grill, plenty of outdoor furniture, and overlooks the pool, the garden beds (please help yourself), and the 5 acre quarry next door. The first floor also has an en-suite king bedroom (with shower), as well as 2 large and beautiful sitting rooms, and huge screened in front porch with more dining seatings, a couch, rocking chairs, and ceiling fan. There are 2 separate staircases leading to the upstairs on either side of the house. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms, one with a trundle bed and pack and play, perfect for children. The other two have a king bed, and a queen bed, with large closets and comfy seating to read or lounge on. There is a full bathroom with bathtub upstairs with a separate laundry room, and large carpeted play/media room with a couch, tv, puzzle table, children’s books, and Wii. There are couches in every bedroom and comfortable seating throughout, as well as outside, and this home is designed for optimal comfort and relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with almost no passing traffic. Our large grassy yard is perfect for children, and for all kinds of games and running around. There is a dart board in the basement as well as bikes and pool toys (please return them back here). Our neighbors are respectful, friendly, and quiet, making our house unsuitable for parties or pets.
