wings.

the formal dining room on the right from the great room to the left.

longest wall, is open to the breakfast area and kitchen, creating a
flowing space that extends the width of the central wing. French doors
open to the deck and rear lawn. The attached mudroom wing with a laundry
area and powder room and offers a convenient rear entrance into the
kitchen. The master bedroom, a large walk-in closet, and the master
bath are secluded in their own wing. The master bath features dual sinks,
a glass shower, and an oversize tub.
The main staircase leads up to a second-floor which overlooks the entry
below. A hall bathroom separates two bedrooms, each with its own large
closet and dormer windows facing to the front and rear.
