FIRST FLOOR
Entry Foyer
Generous and versatile at 9’ x 14’, the foyer is too elegant and spacious to be used as a mere entry, and currently doubles as music room that features wood parquet floors and a beautiful rectangular bay window.
Living Room
With three exposures of large banks of windows, this 19’ x 14’ living room offers lots of natural light, wood parquet floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and built-in bookcases. It is separated from the dining room and kitchen/family rooms by French doors. A coat closet is tucked discreetly next to the staircase, and there is a very large closet on the staircase landing, leading upstairs.
Dining Room
Open and accessible to the kitchen, the well-proportioned 17’ x 12’ dining room features wood parquet floors, and is suitable for every day family use, as well as formal entertaining.
Kitchen
Designed and thoroughly renovated in 2003 in tandem with the family room addition, the 13’ x 12’ kitchen features oak floors, custom maple cabinets with built-in features including multiple pull-out drawers, desk area and cookbook shelves. A beautiful maple free-standing island separates the kitchen and dining room, and offers casual seating and additional cabinets beneath. Appliances include gas range with electric oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal. Corian counter tops, abundant solid panel and glass front cabinets and drawers, recessed lighting throughout, and beautiful glass pendant lights above the island. As part of the renovation, the basement stairs were relocated, creating space for a new lavatory.
Mud Room
Conveniently located between the driveway and family room, the mudroom provides for a coat closet, built-in bench and ceramic floor.
Family Room
Thoughtfully designed and built as an addition in 2003, the 21’ x 14’ family room seamlessly blends playful contemporary lines with the pre-existing traditional space. Enhanced by oak wood floors, cathedral ceilings, skylight and abundant windows, and internal wiring for sound. The care and consideration given to practical use are evidenced by its many details; window seat with storage below, closet with custom computer desk and shelves, and built-in bookcase.
