Attached to this spacious kitchen is an equally spacious family room, complete with multiple windows and a beautiful tiled fireplace.  The stairs to the four upstairs bedrooms can be found at the edge of this family room, a thoughtful choice that keeps the upstairs area private from guests and also keeps traffic away from the formal entertaining areas.
