The extended Great Room has a gas fireplace, beautiful stone hearth & mantle. The Great Room, sporting one of the home's 9 ceiling fans, flows into an extended Kitchen with upgraded cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters & backsplash and two pantries.

The Great Room opens onto an extraordinary 18' square 4 Season Room with a wood ceiling, fully glass enclosed with screens (& fully insulated subfloor & ceiling), Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring that is both exquisite & incredibly resilient, 2 more ceiling fans & an independent, mini-HVAC system. From there, step out onto a huge 26' by 29' Pennsylvania Bluestone patio, an exceptional entertainment space large enough for a 65-person wedding celebration with a tent in the yard!
