This comfortable home is situated on two lots, which includes a landscaped ravine. To thoroughly enjoy the outdoors there are two patios and an elevated deck. Oversized windows throughout the four bedrooms and three living areas flood the rooms with light. The cozy library is to the right of the classic mirrored entry. Gleaming original wood floors are visible when entering the living room and attached formal dining room. Especially designed breakfast table dons the kitchen. There are two full baths and an interior utility room. The attached garage with a covered walkway is very convenient when raining.
