FIRST FLOOR:  The spacious Entrance Hall (16'x13'5") is a beautiful and dramatic space where the rooms unfold before your eyes.  Side and overhead transom windows provide excellent natural light, and the soaring 2 story ceiling reveals the second floor balcony, lovely crown molding, two graceful curved windows, and gleaming hardwood floors.  A coat closet and Powder Room also open from the center hall.  The Entrance Hall flows directly into the stunning Living Room (26'10"x15'11"), an amazing room with 18' ceiling, lovely gas fireplace with slate hearth, a complete wall of windows, and French doors opening to the deck.  A large archway opens from the Entrance Hall into the Dining Room (17'2"x14'5") that features recessed lighting,  triple windows, chair rail and crown molding.  The floor plan opens into the dramatic Family Room (17'6"x15'11") with 15' vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace with raised hearth and wood mantle, large windows on three sides and a door to the deck.  This Family Room is completely open to the Kitchen and Breakfast area (22'x15'10").  The 15' ceiling continues into the Breakfast area which is lighted by four casement windows and a window seat.  The hardwood floors continue throughout the Kitchen, Breakfast room, Butler?s Pantry and Dining Room.  The Kitchen features light cherry cabinets, ivory corian counters on the side cabinets and a very large island with contrasting dark granite counter.  Additional features include a built-in desk, recessed lighting, GE Profile appliances (double wall ovens, microwave, side by side refrigerator, 5 burner gas range with fan, dishwasher) and double sink.  Connecting the Kitchen and the Dining Room is the Butler?s Pantry with bar sink, dark cherry cabinets and granite counter.  The Laundry Room with Maytag washer and dryer, utility sink and folding table, and the rear entrance with built-in cubbies and cabinets, a side door, and entrance to the garage complete this portion of the first floor.  

On the opposite side of the Living Room is the Master Suite that features a lovely Master Bedroom (17'10"x15') with 12' tray ceiling and recessed lighting, separate dressing area that offers two walk-in closets with built-ins, and the spacious Master Bath with double bowl corian counters, a large ceramic tile stall shower, two toilets and a bidet.  French doors open from the Master Bedroom into the Study (14'7"x13'5").  This bright and cheerful room has 12' ceiling and French doors leading to the custom built screened porch (13'7"x10'10") with matching vaulted ceiling and cedar floor.  This porch also opens to the secluded deck and gardens. There are hardwood floors throughout the Master Suite and Study. 

SECOND FLOOR:  Although smaller than the first floor, the second floor is equally bright and cheerful, and the central balcony is open on both sides overlooking the Entrance Hall and the Living Room.  The second Bedroom (`16'6"x13'11") offers a walk-in closet with window and a private bath with cherry vanity and stall shower.  At the other side of the open walkway are two additional Bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, and a Jack and Jill connecting Bath with double bowl cherry vanity, tub and shower.   Light, neutral carpet is found throughout the second floor.
