About This Home

As of September 2013

Charming craftsman with lots of space, character and only 4 years young! The buyer who wants more than the standard property will love this home, as it has many upgrades that you will not see in most homes. The rocking chair front porch welcomes you into the living room, complete with fireplace, 10 foot ceilings, and great natural lighting. The kitchen has an open concept and a LOT of space! There are many cabinets to keep everything stored, and there is enough room to have an island, if desired. Granite counter tops, stainless appliances, and breakfast bar. The dining area has two walls of windows to make the room very happy and inviting. No need to worry about carpet- the home has beautiful wide board pine floors throughout! Optional pool membership avail
