Inside you'll find an expansive living/dining area with plenty of room for entertaining around the dinner table, in front of the updated wood burning fire/stove (2010) or in the living room area while taking in a movie or a game. Step outside and enjoy the wonderful landscaped backyard, complete with a patio for outdoor dining/grilling, lush plantings, and a charming garden shed for your tools or hobbies.
