Formal areas are off the foyer to the right and include a spacious living room with a bay window, a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by a wood mantel and hardwood flooring. French doors open from the living room into a solarium, which has a cathedral ceiling with ceiling fan and four skylights and ceramic-tile flooring.
The formal dining room has two built-in corner china hutches with arched glass cabinet doors and a crystal chandelier. A door opens from the dining room into the kitchen, which is also accessible from the end of the entry hallway. The updated kitchen has granite countertops and distressed cabinetry that includes a buffet counter, wall ovens, a gas cooktop within the peninsula counter and a sub-zero refrigerator with matching wood panel doors.
