The breakfast room is conveniently located next to the living room and also has high ceilings, double pocket French doors, a beautiful built-in book shelf and a large window with a garden view. You keep going through the breakfast room and you arrive at the kitchen with lots of natural light, high ceilings, ceiling fan, gas stove, real wood cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, and the details from the last century. The Kitchen has direct access to a private wood deck on the back of the house. Two of the 7 bedrooms are on the first floor and every bedroom has its own bathroom.
