You get 1-floor living at it's finest, as well as a full, finished lower level (+/- 700 square feet) that comes replete with lots of special spaces including a bonus room (bedroom, den, office, man cave--you decide what you need) and full bath..The exterior of this place, as well as the entire Village, has been very recently painted in a lovely "greige" tone. The neighbors love it! Then, to top it off, the interior has also been newly painted in today's popular colors.. and.. the flooring on the main level is BRAND NEW bamboo--very trendy! Streams of natural light pour in to all the rooms, but especially in the LR/DR area due to the expansive back screened porch with 2 skylights & a small deck area to the side. Sliding doors from the living room take you to this outdoor space.The wood fireplace in the LR has just been cleaned and checked, so it 's ready for the chillier days of Fall.The layout is perfect for entertaining. Be impressed by the large, sunny, eat-in kitchen w/breakfast nook & window seat.The white cabinets here are accented w/Corian counter tops and stainless drawer pulls. Focus on the NEW (7/19), top of the line, stainless steel appliances and pendant lighting .. just like Chip and Joanna Gaines purport! WOW! The 1st floor laundry w/Maytag washer & dryer can be found right off the kitchen.There are 2 bedrooms & 2 baths on the main level.The master BR is huge, and boasts a walk-in closet and yet another window seat.The Master bath shows off a wide, white vanity sink, large mirror w/new 4-lt bar overhead & a tiled shower.

The hall bath, w/vanity sink, comes complete with ceramic tile around the tub area and ceiling, another large mirror & a new light bar as well. There are new toilets and vanity tops in both baths.
