Contemporary Flair is the designing concept for this spacious colonial home. Sited beautifully the slight up slope to the front yard gives a majestic feel. The landscaped garden flanks the broad front brick walk. The level rear yard has a large ground level deck and nice lawn area. The paved driveway gives good access to the two car attached garage and has generous extra parking. Upon entry to the house the two story foyer gives a promise of light and air. The front of the house is for the formal rooms: big formal dining room and larger living room with wood burning fireplace. The rear of the house is where everyone hangs out. The cathedral ceilings span the kitchen, casual dining area, and family room. The kitchen has a center island, granite counters and the bonus of a separate serving area with wet bar and wine rack. An active cook will be happy in this kitchen! Adjacent is the casual eating area which opens to the family room with another fireplace. There is easy access to the large deck and yard. A real plus in this house is the first floor master bedroom - a spacious room with a large walk-in closet and newly remodeled master bath - very luxurious!
