Mirrored on the opposite side is a large dining room for nightly dinners or to host all your favorite holidays. The 1st floor bedroom attaches to a full bathroom and separate dressing area with 2 closets which can also be used as an office space. Completing the lower level is a spacious galley kitchen starring wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a glass slider to the back yard paradise. Head upstairs for two more comfortable bedrooms which have wall to wall carpet preserving original hardwood flooring beneath. Down the hall is a stunning renovated bathroom with tall, vaulted ceilings and a stand-up tiled shower. For additional storage there is access to a large eaved attic and a 14 x 10 walk in cedar closet which can be converted to a home office, nursery, craft room, etc with original casement windows. Make your way to the fully fenced in backyard imagining unhurried evenings on the intimate deck and playful days at the heated inground pool and large patio.
