The home offers a formal living and dining room at one end and an updated kitchen opening to a breakfast area, traditional family room with fireplace and the bright sun room and office addition of 348 square feet (not included in tax records) built in 2008. The sun room leads to the private patio and beautifully landscaped yard ~ perfect for entertaining a large group or for quiet family time!
