A large passthrough connects the kitchen to the vaulted great room, creating an easy flow while still allowing each space to feel distinct. Tucked just behind the kitchen are a walk-in pantry and dedicated laundry area—an incredibly useful setup that keeps the practical parts of daily life organized and out of sight. The vaulted great room opens directly onto a large, private deck overlooking the fenced backyard—perfect for dinner outside, morning coffee, or evenings with friends. The primary suite also overlooks the backyard and features a walk-in closet and spacious bath with double vanity, tiled shower, and soaking tub. Downstairs, a full basement workshop offers something increasingly difficult to find in North Main: dedicated space for tools, hobbies, projects, and storage.
