The formal dining room is light-filled and elegant, showcasing beautiful architectural details including stately columns and classic wainscoting. The heart of this magnificent home is undoubtedly the open kitchen and family room, where style and comfort come together effortlessly. Anchoring both spaces is a breathtaking double-sided floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that serves as a dramatic focal point. The family room impresses with a soaring cathedral ceiling, walls of windows that flood the space with natural light, and access to both the study and screened porch.
