A welcoming foyer opens to the bright living room with vaulted ceilings, beautiful updated flooring, and a stone fireplace. The kitchen features a walk-in pantry, a charming breakfast nook, and ample space to cook and gather. The main-floor Master Suite is a peaceful retreat with a private bath featuring heated floors and a generous walk-in closet.
