Entering through the west side of the home into the grand foyer, you'll find in front of you a marvelous solid wood staircase, to the left you'll discover a formal dining room, to which behind the dining room you will find a spacious kitchen, sunroom and egress to a comfortable size deck over top of the garage. To the right, a formal living room with 2 sets of double french doors leading you out to the roomy front porch adorned with abundant shade from the cozy front courtyard. Main floor also has a convenient quaint half bath. Moving up to the 2nd floor you'll find an inviting full bath with tub shower and mosaic tile floor, three very comfortable bedrooms in which the front bedroom adjoins a balcony with a slight bit of a challenge to access.

This additional room also contains walk in closets for ample storage. Let's go back downstairs to the kitchen where you'll find access to the lower level which houses not only additional living space but, a gorgeous den with an additional fireplace, laundry room and a half bath that could use a little sprucing up. Additionally you'll find downstairs the utility room which houses an oil fired furnace and possibly a workshop for those who are inclined to tinker. There are also two additional exits from the lower level, one of which exits to the top of the garage, or as we're referring to an additional balcony, and there is access to a set of steps that lead down to the garage where you'll find a door that slides left to open. Garage is well equipped to comfortably accommodate two vehicles and also has an overhead electric garage door opener. Last but not least you'll find a side yard for entertaining.
