It's the kind of kitchen that feels steeped in tradition: a place where recipes were tested, notes were made, and meals were shared, with memories as wonderful as the dishes created here. Just off the kitchen, an oversized attached two-car garage offers practical ease, excellent storage, and everyday convenience. Upstairs, the private quarters are thoughtfully arranged. The sprawling primary suite is set apart with windows on three sides, dual walk-in closets, and a windowed en-suite bath.
