Wide stairs lead up to a spacious 2nd floor landing, 4 exceptionally well-sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a laundry room. This floor was extended over the family room in 2023 to create a sumptuous primary suite with one of the best bathrooms you'll ever see! Double sinks, clawfoot tub, separate shower, porcelain floor tile, floor-to-ceiling subway tile, brass plumbing fixtures, fantastic wallpaper. Magazine worthy! Laundry room off the primary bath.
