Also found on the first level are a mudroom and laundry room off the kitchen, a family room/office that could also be used as a guest bedroom, and a renovated full bathroom. An elegant staircase leads to the second level comprised of a wonderful primary bedroom suite with a renovated bathroom. Three other spacious bedrooms, and a renovated bathroom complete this level.
