The large kitchen flows into a dramatic family room addition featuring a soaring ceiling, breakfast area, built-in cabinetry, and a second wood-burning fireplace—creating a warm and inviting hub for everyday living.

A recently converted one-car garage now serves as a bright art studio, easily adaptable as a home office, creative space, or additional flex room.

Upstairs, the second level offers four bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with exciting potential to expand—allowing space for a larger spa-like bathroom and enhanced closet storage. The third floor adds two additional spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and convenient attic storage.
