The east wing contains the kitchen, pantry, dining room, bath, mudroom and laundry. The west wing of the main floor is the master suite and infants room. The second floor has a loft that overlooks the great room in the central section with two bedrooms and bath over the master suite and a bedroom and office over the kitchen wing. There is an 8'x 28' covered porch off the office that looks out into the woods. The basement holds the family room, bath, guest bedroom, garage, work and storage room and the mechanical room.
