At the center of the home, the eat-in kitchen boasts abundant wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island. Inviting fun-filled gatherings, the spacious dining room is open to the kitchen and has access to the yard for easy entertaining. The light-filled primary suite sits at the back of the home with a door to a private patio. The tranquil backyard is perfectly shaded by a gorgeous heritage oak tree and features an extensive entertaining deck, stone paths, and mature landscaping. A home that meets every need, just one-half mile to downtown!
