Inside, the center hall plan offers a formal Living Room with crown moldings and a wood burning fireplace on the left and very nicely proportioned Dining Room with crown moldings, chair rail and wainscoting on the right. The bay windows cast beautiful light into these rooms. The casual living space is found in the back half of the home with a wonderful, comfortable open Kitchen/Family Room arrangement.
