The living and dining area flows seamlessly into a spacious family room where a vaulted ceiling and bay window fill the space with soft natural light. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee, quiet afternoons or hosting friends. The kitchen feels fresh and functional with a new range and a pantry that offers generous storage space. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated over recent years, including the main bath which features an easy access low curb shower and safety bars for peace of mind. Throughout the home you will find wood laminate flooring and tile, generous closets in both bedrooms plus extra hallway storage and a convenient interior laundry room with washer and dryer included. The oversized one car garage provides space for a vehicle and a golf cart, and the widened driveway and expanded front porch give you extra room to welcome guests.
