Featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, abundant natural light, and multiple living spaces, the residence offers an ideal layout for both entertaining and everyday living.

The elegant formal living room features expansive windows and a classic fireplace, while the separate rear family room with its own fireplace offers a comfortable secondary gathering space with seamless connection to the kitchen and dining areas.
The beautifully appointed kitchen showcases quartz countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and designer finishes throughout.
