A large formal living room is perfect for gatherings of family and friends. Its 4 windows fill the room with light throughout the day.

Cooks will love the spacious kitchen with granite counters, a center island with a second sink and great storage space. The custom hardwood and glass cabinets with under cabinet LED lights add warmth and elegance. The kitchen eating area overlooks the Goshen stone patio and a beautiful garden. Sliding doors allow quick access to the patio when barbecuing. From the kitchen a short hallway passes the laundry room leading to the family room. A gas burning fireplace, built in bookcases with cabinets as well as a TV & audio cabinet make the family room a favorite gathering place. Through the family room sliders you exit to the porch overlooking the extensive gardens. The porch has shades for afternoon sun as well as custom plexiglass windows to use in the winter to protect from snow. The yard is fenced with both entry gates and a gate to the woodland part of the property.
Upstairs you will find the three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom is bright with long windows overlooking the garden and an en-suite bathroom with a slipper tub and a walk in shower. A large windowed dressing room has 3 closets and could easily serve as a nursery.

The extensive plantings of bulbs and perennials provide ongoing color from spring into the autumn. The garden is truly magical.
This is a home and garden that must be seen to be appreciated.
