Pocket doors lead into the dining room which has red and white velvet wallpaper, white beadboard wainscotting and a coffered ceiling.

You'll find 4 additional bedrooms here, a large storage room and another windowed full bathroom. All are real, generously sized bedrooms, that easily accommodate a queen or a king size bed. Use one as a play room, another as a yoga studio, it's your choice. The piece de resistance though is the turret bedroom - which is set up as a kids room, and has its own reading nook with bench seating in the treetops, overlooking the neighborhood. The backyard is beyond spacious and wraps around the house. There is enough space to play ball in the grass, shoot some hoops, play on the swingset, and enjoy a barbeque and dinner on the stone patio. There is a lot to love about this home.
