The formal dining room accommodates everything from special occasions to casual meals. The updated kitchen is designed with both style and function in mind, featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a tiled backsplash, an informal dining area, and an exterior door with direct access to the backyard.

Upstairs, the large, front-to-back primary bedroom is a sunny and cheerful sanctuary, featuring a versatile office or dressing area and a large double closet. Two more generously sized family bedrooms on the second level are full of natural light with hardwood floors and ample closets, all convenient to the updated bathroom with a tiled shower. The finished lower level offers even more flexible living space with a family room and bonus area featuring brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring, the laundry area with a sink, additional storage, and convenient garage access.
