An oversized mudroom, equipped with double closet, built-in cabinets, benches, and hooks, provides practical space for organizing the family’s everyday comings and goings. A powder room, and inside access to the garage round out the main level.

This level also houses the laundry, a sizeable storage room with built-in shelving, a cedar closet and the utility room.
The fully fenced south facing yard is a private, tranquil retreat. A wonderful setting with mature trees, established perennial gardens, a stone patio under a pergola and a new deck with a hot tub that delivers the ultimate relaxation experience.
