From the entry, pocket doors reveal a welcoming formal living room featuring 9-foot ceilings, burnished wood floors, and generous window bay. The adjacent formal Dining Room includes picture-rail moldings and a second bay window. Where good times happen, the spacious eat-in kitchen has garden views and a convenient walk-in shelf-lined pantry. A study/den with two exposures is a versatile space that could easily serve as an office or playroom.
