The luxurious granite countertops are perfectly complemented by a stunning backsplash, adding a touch of class to the kitchen's ambiance. This gourmet cooking space features a full suite of professional-grade, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast counter with custom-tiled bar front, a pantry with pull-out drawers, and dovetail and soft-close cabinetry. An ornate light fixture casts a warm, inviting glow over the eating area. The floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, with its flickering gas logs, anchors the family gathering room in warmth and charm. The powder room has a newer vanity, ceramic tile flooring, and a Kohler toilet. Washer and gas dryer hookup, cabinetry, folding counter, shoe and hanging racks are details in the 13'x9' "drop zone" laundry room, located close to the garage service door.

A shared full bathroom with 2 sinks, a Kohler toilet, a tub/shower combo, and a linen closet accommodates the other three bedrooms. Recent improvements made by the owners include exterior Dutch-lap siding (2020), an architectural shingled roof (2021), black aluminum fencing (2020) remodeled custom kitchen (2016), and all bathrooms were updated (2011).
