Elegant formal dining room with stunning mid-century modern crystal chandelier. Kitchen offers cabinets galore, walk in pantry and very large eating area surrounded by floor to ceiling windows which overlook deck, gazebo and lushly landscaped yard.

A unique feature is a balcony off this room which has been a quiet retreat and cherished space. Full basement is partially finished with a recreation area, walk-in cedar closet, hobby/tool room, abundant storage and utility room. Three car attached garage with plenty of extra storage space. On almost half acre, large deck and gazebo is accessed from the kitchen and family room.
