Enter the gracious entrance hall flanked by a bright and welcoming solarium, a sitting room with window seat and a sprawling Livingroom with marble fireplace. Continue down the hall to an incredibly spacious and bright dining room which opens to a well-designed galley kitchen. The second level offers 3 large sleeping rooms with en suite bathrooms. A charming private suite is perfect for guests or extended family. The exterior boasts a charming garden and dining area perfect for entertaining.
