A large open entertaining space in the front of the building serves as living room and dining room with guest bath and is framed by the beautiful rose medallion window. French doors lead to the central part of the house which features a huge open gourmet kitchen with a cooking island as well as a second island for dining and storage. A secondary kitchenette serves as a breakfast or wet bar that opens to a reading nook and informal dining area. The primary suite features an elegant private bath with soaking tub, tile shower and huge walk-in closet while the other two bedrooms share a second full bath.
