There are five more bedrooms and four baths on the upper floors. The primary suite has dramatic high ceilings, and space for seating around the fireplace, two very spacious walk-in closets and a large bath with separate shower and tub.

With an unfinished basement and a garage that can creatively store up to four cars, this offers a great opportunity to settle into a great community for many years to come. Remarkably private with side yard neighbors out of sight and backyard trimmed with tall trees, it is hard to believe that village shopping, train and schools are all just seconds away. The floor plan can work well for those who need to house multiple generations, and offers several great office spaces away from the main living areas for those who need to work from home.
