You will love the charming, cozy fireplace and the adjacent sunroom-an ideal space for a home office, reading room, or play area.

Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, including an extra-large primary bedroom with deep closets and a private sitting area (previously two bedrooms and easily converted back if needed).
