The place

Big selling point

Entertaining is easy here. The sellers say they’ve had upwards of 20 people congregating around the oversized kitchen island. In the warmer months, an outdoor fire pit serves as a gathering place. (In the colder months, an indoor gas fireplace keeps things cozy.)

Possible deal breaker

The third-floor master suite (which comes with a sitting room, two walk-in closets and a balcony) may not be ideal for taller people, because of slanted walls in the bathroom:
