Formal dining room has bright southern exposure, wainscoating, and built-in china cabinet. French doors to rebuilt family room (2023) with two walls of windows overlooking the park and the backyard. The family room is easily visible from the recently updated kitchen, which has a pantry and room for a table and chairs.

Wide stairs lead up to a spacious 2nd floor landing, 4 exceptionally well-sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a laundry room. This floor was extended over the family room in 2023 to create a sumptuous primary suite with one of the best bathrooms you'll ever see! Double sinks, clawfoot tub, separate shower, porcelain floor tile, floor-to-ceiling subway tile, brass plumbing fixtures, fantastic wallpaper. Magazine worthy! Laundry room off the primary bath. Large walk-in closet in primary bedroom. The 3 other bedrooms all have good closet space and windows on 2 sides. And all truly a good size! Updated hall bath.
