The living room area, to the right, is roomy and cozy with a
sectional sofa and armchair gathered in an invitation to sit and visit.
Behind the living space is an open dining and kitchen area that effortlessly fits a
table for six and a generously sized island with a breakfast bar while still allowing
for plenty of floor space.
In a nod to the layout of so many of Shaker’s traditional homes, a staircase rises
to the second floor directly inside the front door. Upstairs, Mary Ann has three
bedrooms. The main bedroom is especially large and, much like the first floor, feels
airy and bright with its large windows. Two walk-in closets – and of course a bath
– complete the primary suite, with
one windowed closet large enough
to comfortably serve as Mary Ann’s
home office.
