The large kitchen with a center island is open to a family room with built-in bookcases surrounding a fireplace and additional adjoining pantry. The open reception room leads to an elegant oversized formal living room with amazing ceiling to floor wainscoting and cabinets, a personal Dupont family favorite bench seated bay window, fireplace, and coved ceiling with recessed lighting. Across the center hallway is an additional spacious family room with plenty of natural light, cork flooring, detailed built in cabinets, chair rails and crown molding.
