From there, enjoy views into the spacious step down living room anchored by a beautiful gas fireplace. The ornate crown moldings add to the tremendous character of the room. The elegant formal dining room, located just off the kitchen, showcases lavish crown molding and a large picture window that fills the space with natural light.
