A central island with bar seating allows a seamless transition from the kitchen to the nearby breakfast and sitting rooms. A formal dining room with a beamed ceiling and custom built-ins is inviting for dinner parties and holidays, while the spacious den showcases vintage cabinetry, a gas fireplace, tongue-and-groove beamed ceilings, and direct access to the inviting slate patio, back lawn and gardens.
