Adjacent is a butler's pantry, a charming powder room with a barrel ceiling, and a thoughtfully designed eat-in kitchen (15' x 15'). The kitchen features granite countertops, a functional work island, stainless steel appliances, including a new gas range with a convection oven , and a window seat offering tranquil backyard views through a lovely triptych window. A nearby mudroom with a Palladian window and abundant storage adds practicality to the home's graceful design. Ascend to the second floor, where French doors open to a light-filled study, or art studio (16' x 9'), with exposed beams and panoramic views of the lush rear yard. This level offers two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bath, and one with a wood-burning fireplace.
