A sixth bedroom on the second floor is used for the owner's guests and includes a private bath and a 4-season sitting room. Entering the owner's space, you'll find a spacious, bright white kitchen with two gas ranges, an oversized 6-ft refrigerator/freezer, and lots of counter and storage space. This open room also serves as the owner's living room, and it includes a gas fireplace, beautiful built-in cabinets and bookshelves, and crown molding.
