Tranquil surroundings along with a convenient locale are the perfect blend for this vintage home exuding charm and character throughout. A welcoming front porch and old world Dutch door lead to the gracious living room boasting wide plank pine flooring, hand painted moldings and a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room is highlighted by beautiful wainscoting, exposed beam ceiling and a second fireplace. A step-down family room, warmed by a free standing wood-burning stove, is underlain with slate flooring and features built-in bookcases and custom wood blinds. Discriminating chefs will enjoy the large country kitchen equipped with professional stainless steel appliances, abundant wood cabinetry, decorative tiled counters and moveable butcher block island. Additionally, the separate breakfast room, with views overlooking the yard, is a wonderful gathering spot for casual meals. Just off the kitchen is a convenient office accented by a sun-filled bay window with built-in cupboards. Three bedrooms and two full baths complete this treasure. The expansive property is a gardeners paradise incorporating a patio with wisteria covered pergola for outdoor entertaining and a two-car detached garage with second floor studio.
