Adjacent to the living room is a spacious dining area with a modern chandelier and abundant natural light, perfect for entertaining guests.
The updated kitchen is sure to impress with its granite countertops, center island, Samsung microwave, GE stainless steel French door refrigerator, and atrium window with backyard views. A tile backsplash adds a touch of sophistication, while 12-inch tile flooring adds durability. The kitchen also offers access to the driveway and a convenient mudroom/laundry area, complete with upgraded Samsung washer and dryer and a storage closet.
Completing the main level is a bright bedroom (or office space,) along with a powder room for added convenience.

The private primary bathroom features a large jetted soaking tub, a double vanity, ample cabinetry, a separate shower, and a toilet closet.
Outside, the tranquil fenced backyard provides a private retreat, perfect for outdoor gatherings or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. Enjoy the expansive patio, the vine trellis, a large shed, and complementary, low-maintenance landscaping.
