Built to last with solid brick construction and exceptional 'good bones,' this sturdily crafted split-level home perfectly balances expansive interior living with a seamless connection to the outdoors. The bright main level features an inviting living room, separate dining area, and a bright, open kitchen equipped with ample cabinetry, dedicated desk space, and a casual eat-in area. Sliding glass doors open directly to a wide-open, peaceful backyard that features an entertaining deck and steps right out to a local walking trail.
