The kitchen and great room are an entertainer’s dream with a Betrazonni gas range, spacious island, pantry, coffered ceilings and doors leading out to the covered patio. An arched-ceiling hallway through the middle of the home leads to a dining room/office with picture frame molding and French doors, a bar area with wine refrigerator and an additional living/dining area with fireplace. Upstairs you'll find charming reading nooks that showcase the home’s historic footprint along with 3 additional bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a flex room for an office, hobby or play room.
