Gas heating system and gas kitchen stove for efficient cooking. Mosaic Tile on exterior front porch. Private driveway with established boundary line alongside the house accommodates four vehicles. The 9' foot high ceilings and square design are accented by a gracious entry foyer and turned oak staircase.
