The main level of the house consists of the living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, TV room, two bedrooms with bathrooms and a guest suite. The upper level of the house contains the master bedroom suite. The lower level includes the two-car garage, an au pair suite, a laundry room and mechanical room.
