At the front of the house is the living room with a wood burning fireplace and an office, or possible 5th bedroom, across the hall. The open floor plan on the first floor connects, the kitchen, dining and family room seamlessly. The kitchen has a large island that makes everyday kitchen prep and entertaining easy and enjoyable.
