Floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets line one wall of the Kitchen, and large windows allow sunlight to stream in on the other side. Behind the Kitchen is a Sunroom / Den, which offers great views of the yard. Near the basement stairs is a practical Cubby Room, which is a great place to drop off coats & gear. The Rear Entry Hall leads to the Powder Room and Laundry Room, as well as to an expanded side deck that opens to the yard. All cabinetry in the Kitchen, Butlers Pantry, Cubby Room and Laundry Room is custom and Amish-built. Upstairs is a primary Bedroom suite with Sitting Room and attached primary BA with a large shower. 3 more Hall BD share the updated Hall BA. The 3rd floor features a Playroom/5th Bedroom and an Office/Exercise Room/Bedroom as well as a charming, renovated 3rd full Bathroom with a claw foot tub. New 3rd floor windows provide tree-top views; and to boost the central heating and cooling, an efficient ductless mini-split system was added in 2019. Other updates include two new Central A/C systems (spring 2022), new electrical wiring, new hot water heater, and an overhaul and expansion of the steam heating system. The roof was replaced in 2015. The unfinished basement features walk-up access to the side yard, loads of sturdy built-in shelving, a separate room that is ideal for wine storage, and sump pumps for peace of mind (as does the whole-house generator). Additional storage is found in the detached Garage.
