Bring your finishing touches to this wonderfully designed, solidly built and lovingly maintained 4 BR, 3.5 BA French Colonial in the heart of Penn Valley. From the 2-story tiled center hall with stunning iron-railing curved staircase, MacKensie Childs chandelier, and 2 coat closets, explore the living room with wood-burning fireplace to the right, and dining room (currently used as a den) to the left. Down the hall is a large powder room, basement access, sun-filled breakfast room with closet and sliding doors to the back patio, and an office. From the breakfast room, enter the large kitchen which also overlooks the back patio. Walk from the kitchen down a few steps to the laundry room with exterior access, enter the 2-car garage, or continue on to the basement down a second set of basement stairs.
