The coffered ceiling with a molding medallion in the center is sure to impress. To the left, the flooring flows into what is currently being used as a guest bedroom but would also make a wonderful living room or parlor with a second fireplace. Off the right of the entrance is the owner's suite. Double closets with a window seat between make for the perfect place for curling up with a good book & your morning coffee. The ensuite has been redone to match the federal style of the home with bead board, double sinks, a large walk-in tile shower, water closet & fireplace.

Back on the main floor to the rear of the dining room is a gracious kitchen with solid surface countertops, custom cabinets, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range. Adjacent to the kitchen into a large mudroom/laundry area with a built-in ironing board. 2 steps down is a 4 seasons room overlooking the backyard. The amount of trim work, molding, and wood floors in this home are truly amazing.
