The residence includes extensive wainscoting, an ornate coal burning fireplace, built-in china cabinets, arched doorways, and beautiful, heart of pine floors. The kitchen is at the heart of the first floor with an oversized peninsula for eating as well as space for another table. Current owners have upped the luxury with a natural gas range, high end granite, dual wall ovens, large built in tv, and a wet bar with sink and custom cabinetry for glassware. The spacious, first floor master suite includes two closets (one walk-in) and an updated bath with bathing tub and large glass enclosed shower with river rock tile.
