The bright dining room connects to an updated kitchen that pairs vintage charm with modern convenience, featuring a built-in hutch, cozy breakfast nook, and new range hood. An extended laundry room adds storage and function. Two spacious bedrooms offer flexibility, while the stylish bathroom features dual vanities and a walk-in shower.
