In keeping with the standard farm-house style there are two staircases. One leads to the upstairs master suite that includes the full bath. The bedroom has a walk-in closet and a vaulted ceiling with soft lights in the wood beams. Another stairway leads to two spacious bedrooms that have a lot of windows for natural light and great views. A second full bath with a skylight completes the upstairs. There exists a spacious corner room den that has many windows and views of the bridge, river and mountains. The fourth bedroom, which could be an office or guest suite is very private & also has great views. The next full bath is on the main floor. The great room has an open floor plan that has an exterior wall consisting of french doors that run from the kitchen to the dining area. This feature allows beautiful mountain views with southern exposure. The kitchen which was completely renovated in 2001 has Wood-mode cabinets, professional appliances and a 9 ft. granite island that is flanked by butcher block countertops. The upgrades enhanced the farm house, but the original charm was left intact. Off the kitchen there is a pantry/office leading to the laundry room and mudroom. The original wide-plank wood flooring that is through the home completes the country feeling. A new roof and exterior painting was recently completed.
