A large enclosed front porch provides a serene retreat, while inside, stunning woodwork envelopes you: gorgeous hardwood floors, trim, built-ins, paneling and working pocket doors. The main floor features a formal living room with corner fireplace, spacious dining room with built-in buffet, bright oversized kitchen with mudroom and deck access, plus a bonus room with adjoining full bath that can serve as a 4th bedroom, primary suite, guest room or office.
