There is also a first floor Primary Suite addition which enjoys a lovely view of the expansive grounds provided by a valuable extra parcel (separate parcel included in this sale). The primary bathroom is enhanced by the luxury of radiant floor heat, a large stall shower and double sink vanity granite countertops. Adding to the convenience–there is a powder room and first floor laundry completing the main floor. The outdoors can be enjoyed throughout the home with an inviting rear slate patio revealed through large bright French doors in the Living Room. The second floor provides ample room with three Bedrooms and a Hall Bath. Adding considerably to the living space, the third floor is currently being used as a Painting Studio and for storage, and will provide flexibility for whatever most suits your needs.
