The kitchen cabinets are made of solid wood. Great opportunity awaits to open up the kitchen wall to dining room for even more open area living, if desired. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. All bedrooms have ample closet space. Most of the home recently freshly re-painted.
