A 1971 addition by Snyder Crompton includes the first-floor primary suite, family room/library with a wood-burning fireplace, main floor laundry, two-car garage, and a workroom below. The second floor offers 4 large bedrooms and a full bath—each room more spacious than what is typically found in modern construction, making the home feel especially roomy and functional.
