The large kitchen offers plenty of space for cooking and entertaining(room for a generous kitchen table), featuring access to the deck - ideal for summer BBQs. The family room addition is truly the heart of the home, boasting soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that create a bright, airy retreat. The first-floor primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and a large en suite bath. A powder room, attached two-car garage, and mudroom with convenient first-floor laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three nice sized bedrooms with ample closet space, large windows, and another full bath. The lower level-with above-grade windows-offers fantastic rec space, complete with a wet bar, another full bathroom, and abundant storage. This neutral area is ready for your personal touch and updates!
