The back has a variety of outdoor spaces with a wrap-around balcony deck, attached pergolas, a trellis with a swing, paver-brick sun patios with matching outdoor fireplace and covered concrete patios. Tailored landscaping surrounds the patios, and a wrought-iron fence surrounds part of the yard.

Off the driveway is a 60-by-48-foot, heated outbuilding with a six-car, drive-through garage, 16-foot doors, a workshop, concrete flooring and a second-floor storage area.

All of the home’s main social areas on the main floor and lower level have access to or picturesque views of the landscape. Some of the textures from the outside are also inside with Mill Creek River stone, gas fireplace within the great room and wood flooring throughout much of the main level.

From the front porch, formal entry opens into a two-story foyer with a box window shelf above the door. The open staircase has carved accents, wood steps with carpet runner and decorative spindles and handrails that ascend to the second-level catwalk hallway. Wood flooring fills the foyer and continues into the formal dining room to the right and living room to the left.
