The formal dining room features a beamed ceiling and built-in window seats, creating a gracious setting for holiday gatherings. Nearby, the kitchen and breakfast area feature all-new Thermador appliances. A first-floor home office provides additional flexibility. Natural light, gorgeous oak floors, original woodwork, and stained-glass windows add warmth and character throughout the home. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms, two full baths with original vintage tile, and excellent closet and storage space, including a cedar closet. The expansive lower level includes a family room with gas fireplace, recreation room, exercise area, workroom, wine cellar, 1/4 bath, abundant storage, and room for future expansion.
