Welcome Home! Step into the inviting main entrance foyer, which leads seamlessly to the dining room, living room, and three comfortable bedrooms. The main floor features 1.5 bathrooms and boasts stunning floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace-perfect for family gatherings. The kitchen offers an abundance of wooden cabinetry and granite countertops, making it a functional and stylish space for any home cook.
