This exceptional flow is perfect for entertaining, with access to the dining room and living room off of the entry hall. The large living room with fireplace, custom built-ins and alcove has a bay window overlooking the exceptional grounds. The warm dining room with built-ins opens into a large eat-in kitchen.

Ascend the architectural staircase to the second floor and to the right you will find the renovated owners suite with dressing room, walk-in closets, marble bath with radiant floors and two vanities, all overlooking the exceptional grounds. Two additional bedrooms, each with ample closet space, a renovated hall bath and third bedroom suite with bath round out the main portion of the second floor.
