Amenities Abound

Three bedrooms and a bath upstairs, and two bedrooms and a bath downstairs highlight this home full of amenities. Upstairs, a kitchen with modern appliances, a dining room augmented by art and nature, a living room big enough for a baby grand, and a study with walls of shelves and built-in cabinets - all unite to make a homey refuge, or a social salon. Downstairs,  a family room, a wood workshop, and a garage, plus plenty of closet and storage space, complete the living quarters that can fit family needs from nine months to ninety.

Owned by the same family since 1954, this home also hosts several owner-inspired treasures.  For instance, how many homes have a photographic darkroom?  The digital age may not need this - but you might appreciate the 220-volt electricity, and ample water hook-ups, or  just the extra closet space, that this room provides. A playroom that fits ping-pong or pool, or a guest suite that provides comfort and privacy - how you use the downstairs is up to you, but you will not be disappointed. Did we mention the double-coated cinder block foundation, that keeps the downstairs cool in summer, and dry all year round?

Upstairs, several design features provide privacy and protection.  Double-studded bathroom walls ensure sounds of silence, and minimize bath vapors. Washer and dryer locations make cleaning convenient.  Doors separate living from sleeping quarters.  All these features ensure full enjoyment of both public and private spaces, by both owners and guests.

Other amenities?  Skylights in the bathroom and study add light and spaciousness.  Cabinets added to the kitchen maximize space, yet allow cooks to converse with family and guests. Did we mention the two-sided fireplace?  Visible from both dining and living rooms, this fireplace provides the ambiance that makes any wintry evening enjoyable.  And in the summer, or spring, or fall, the patio in back and the wide-open views overlooking it makes entertaining a joy.  All in all, we're sure you'll agree - this home abounds with amenities!
