The first floor is home to a large living room with a beautifully appointed working fireplace and mantel and multiple windows allowing for ample natural light. The formal dining room is situated next to the breakfast room which features the original stove and a wet bar area. The custom chef's kitchen was fully renovated in 2016 and has beautiful inset cabinetry, a huge pantry, and sliders to the large brick patio with the perfect flow for entertaining and indoor /outdoor dining. A tucked-away powder room finishes off the first floor. You can take the elegant main staircase or the convenient back staircase to the second floor. This floor is home to the primary suite with a private and unique connected sunroom with a cupola ceiling that can be used for so many different purposes! Next to the primary is a spacious room currently used as a second living room with beautiful south/western light that streams through the 5 ceiling height windows and features another beautiful mantel and custom closets for maximum storage. The first full bathroom on this floor sits just beyond this room and features beautiful marble details. On the other side of the 2nd floor is another beautifully designed full bath with a heated floor and a full laundry area including a washer/dryer, laundry sink, and convenient folding station. There is a tucked-away room with a skylight perfect for an additional bedroom or office space to round out this floor. The 3rd floor has 2 more sizable bedrooms with built-in closets that share the 3rd full bath with another laundry area including a washer/dryer. Off this floor is the final outside space, a private roof deck with lovely views, built-in seating, and planters, and is the ideal finishing touch to this gem of a property. There is a full unfinished basement that allows for tons of additional storage and houses the utilities, including heat and central air that is zoned for each floor.
