The entry floor offers a cozy living room, a kitchen equipped with GE appliances, and sunny dining area with gas fireplace. The large private deck, just off the kitchen, is perfect for entertaining. The sunny primary bedroom features crown molding, tin ceiling, built-in shelving and two closets. The full bathroom offers a shower with tub, vanity, and a convenient linen closet.
