But let's not forget the classic home itself with 3 separate and spacious living spaces, 4 bedrooms including an oversized owner's suite, traditional dining room and central kitchen, and impressive touches like the grand stone fireplace, dental molding, office off the laundry room, huge slate entrance foyer, and ample off street parking for everyone. All of this overlooking an immense and truly private backyard featuring a peaceful creek with picturesque covered bridge, entertainment deck, and a grassy field.
