Step inside to a bright, inviting main level featuring warm hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace that anchors the living space, along with a convenient first-floor half bath perfect for guests.
The heart of the home is the fully remodeled kitchen, updated with fresh finishes and functional design that make everyday cooking and entertaining a pleasure. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer flexible living for families, roommates, or a home office setup, complemented by an updated full bathroom.
The lower level offers additional flexible space, including a rec room with an electric fireplace, an additional bonus room, and a full bathroom — along with direct backyard access for added everyday convenience.
