Feel how special this 4 bedroom/2.1 bath home is as you enter. From the entry, you are greeted by the light-filled living room with a gorgeous double-sided wood burning fireplace, with travertine hearth, maple mantel, and built in storage that complements the maple floors gracing the entire first floor. On the other side of the fireplace is a versatile room, currently used as a family room, with built-in cabinetry showcasing art and books. This room opens to the dining room and kitchen which feature stunning views of the garden. The kitchen is tucked away and delightfully connected to the dining area. It boasts a chef's 6- burner stovetop with range hood, new Refrigerator (2024), new dishwasher (2023), and plenty of cabinet and counter space including a peninsula.
