The spacious living room leads to the dining room with its working fireplace. At the back of the house, the bright eat-in kitchen opens to a delightful pergola, perfect for outdoor meals and entertaining.The English basement level, with very generous ceiling height, adds a vast media room with fireplace, a wet bar, a truly spa-like full bathroom (recently added) and a laundry/storage room.On the upper level, the primary bedroom feature special noise-cancelling windows.
