Beyond the kitchen is a handy laundry room and a half bath. A wooden staircase in the living room takes you up to the second floor which boasts a full bath and four bedrooms, one of which currently functions as an office. The property also has a large three bay garage/workshop with ample space for storage and projects. And finally there is a cozy rental cottage on the property.
