This home offers thoughtful design, abundant natural light, and exceptional living space throughout. Fresh interior paint and refinished hardwood floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The oversized living room is a true showpiece, featuring a vaulted beamed ceiling that adds character and an airy sense of grandeur, and a floor to ceiling stacked brick fireplace is the focal point of the room. A separate dining room with beautiful hardwood flooring provides the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends. Right off the dining room is a new deck for grilling out or enjoying the yard.
