A mud room directly off the kitchen leads to a side door to the driveway. Also off the kitchen is an expansive butlers pantry and storage area, as well as a half bath. This passageway leads into the large family room, also with glass doors and large windows facing the backyard. The entire rear of the home opens onto a wood deck and flat lawn beyond.
