A catwalk overlooks the two-story gathering room. This is another room where you can cozy up to the fireplace in the winter or use it for entertaining as it is open to the formal dining room. A powder room is located off this room.

Floor to ceiling glass in the two-story gathering room area allows sunlight to stream in upstairs and downstairs. On the catwalk, an archway through the brick fireplace separates the master bedroom suite from the secondary bedroom wing.

Soak up the good life in the backyard where a large recently refurbished heated pool with paver decking offers a place for swimming, splashing and just relaxing. A deck extends across the back of the house. A pool house with porch gives you protection from the sun, a spot for entertaining and a bathroom for changing once you're ready to head inside. The glass doors across the back and a sunroom provide stunning views of the pool area and the deep wooded fenced backyard. A play area includes a child's play house and a tree house. This lot extends well beyond the rear fence.

In 2015/2016, the pool was replastered, the paver decking was added and a new heater, filter and pump were installed. The 16x27 pool house includes a kitchen area, a bathroom and a pool equipment room. The roof was replaced in 2019. Open the doors of the pool house and let the fun flow from inside to outside.
