The house offers something increasingly hard to find: space and flexibility. Multiple bedrooms and baths, and gathering areas on both levels provide options for family, guests, home offices, hobbies and changing needs. Southern exposure brings in abundant natural light. The delightful screened porch overlooking the tranquil backyard is an inviting place to the enjoy Spring, Summer and Fall mornings and quiet evenings.
