As you enter, the spacious living room with a bay window and a fireplace opens to a dining room. The large kitchen with excellent cabinet space is a chef's delight. It comes with a separate breakfast area and access to a large paver-brick patio surrounded by lush landscaping. Three bedrooms are all on the main floor. Hardwood flooring. Full, unfinished basement with generous ceiling height could be turned into extra living space.
