To the left are the 'Jack and Jill' bedrooms, connected by a recently updated full bathroom, and each with a wall of windows overlooking the woods. To the right is the main living room which is at the heart of the home. Here you'll love the stacked stone wood burning fireplace and tall, vaulted ceiling. A set of large, custom windows provides a great view of the front yard, and were replaced in recent years along with all other front windows.

Here you'll find approx. 126 sq. ft. of screened in space, for a bug-free area to enjoy all the sights and sounds of the outdoors!
