The back parlor has the original 8-foot-high , built in bookshelves with a center window seat, the breathtaking staircase with an up/down landing that leads to the kitchen, and a door to a recently restored, sun drenched, enclosed porch where you can enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset while looking out onto your bucolic backyard! The bright, light filled kitchen is big enough fora generous island or table that seats 4 and has custom Maple cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Enjoyment of the outdoors couldn't be easier by stepping out to a deck off of the kitchen (big enough for a cafe table with two chairs), with steps down to the private outdoor space of your dreams. Completely enclosed for privacy, the huge back yard has everything you could possibly want for entertaining, gardening or just relaxing and communing with nature. The area closest to the house has a hand carved, Pennsylvania Bluestone Patio and borders a large expanse of grass with peripheral indigenous plants and trees that include Serviceberry Trees, a majestic Oak tree with custom decking around the base, Wisteria, Camellia and more..There is a wood paneled, one car garage and room in the driveway for an additional three cars.
