INTERIOR:  The Center Hall with high ceilings and beautiful millwork welcomes visitors into this lovely home.  Graced by large archways on either side, the Center Hall opens into a rounded reception area with columns and staircase, and leads to other first floor rooms.  The Powder room is also located in the front hall.  The formal Living Room (17’x15’) features high ceilings, very large windows, distinctive crown molding and chair rail, recessed lighting and pocket doors into the Family Room. There are 9’ ceilings throughout the first and second floors. The Family Room (28’x15’) is a spacious and inviting room decorated with wainscoting and gas fireplace with carved mantle, and huge windows allow for wonderful natural light.  This room opens into the Kitchen and Great Room, and also leads back to the center hall.  The Dining Room (18’x14’) is an interesting and irregular shape that offers large windows, a corner fireplace with intricate and ornate carvings and hardwood floors.  The butler’s Pantry separates the Dining Room from the Kitchen, and offers lovely old cabinetry, granite counters and beverage sink, and also has an outside entrance to the covered porch.  The stunning Kitchen(14’x13’)  and Great Room (26’x14’) are the center of family living with a state of the art gourmet kitchen that is open to the vaulted ceiling Great Room.  The Kitchen features granite counters with tumbled marble backsplash, recessed lighting, a Wolf 6 burner professional gas range and hood, Kraftmaid antique white cabinets, a sub-zero refrigerator, two Asko dishwashers, a trash compactor, double stainless sink with disposal, ceramic tile floor and a large island with breakfast bar.  This room is open to the dramatic Great Room with vaulted wooden ceiling, many built-ins, surround sound speakers, and three sets of

doors that open to the deck and backyard.  The Great Room also leads into the Family Room, thus completing the circular flow.  There are hardwood floors throughout the house, and several rooms are carpet over hardwood.

SECOND FLOOR:  The turned staircase leads to a large central hall with four corner Bedrooms in symmetrical positions.  The Master Bedroom (19’x15’) features a double closet and a beautiful new Master Bath with double sinks, corian counter and cherry cabinets.  Distinctive tile work and large glass enclosed shower with dual shower heads showcase this bathroom.  The three additional Bedrooms are very spacious (14×12)(18×14)(17×14) and bright, with large windows, high ceilings and deep closets.  The two front Bedrooms also connect through a half bath that also houses the laundry facility.  A very large hall closet backs to this half bath and offers the opportunity for future renovations that could include moving the laundry into this closet and restoring the half bath to a full connecting Bath.  The newly renovated Hall Bath on this floor features white subway tiles, a large country sink, glass block windows, and tub/shower with glass enclosure.  There are recessed lights throughout the second floor.

THIRD FLOOR:  The open staircase continues to the third floor where a large dormer window brings in good natural light.  There are three rooms and a bath on this level -   two Bedrooms (15×14)(15×14) and a third Bonus room (13×12), currently used as a walk-in closet that could also be used as an office or playroom.  The large and renovated Hall bath features updated fixtures, a ceramic tile floor, tub with shower, and wainscoting on the walls.
