A flowing floor plan complete with a kitchen built to entertain and a living room made for hosting holidays and gathering around the original wood fireplace. The living room has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that make moving in a cinch and give you front row access to the beautiful seasonal changes and fall foliage right in your front yard.
