An adjacent formal dining room offers a warm setting for hosting dinners and special occasions. The bright eat-in kitchen combines everyday functionality with abundant storage, while a main-level half bath just off the entry adds extra convenience.

In addition to the main residence, the property includes a private secondary unit designed for both comfort and independence. With its own entrance and garage, the unit is thoughtfully tucked away from the owner’s living space. The main level highlights vaulted ceilings, a central fireplace, and an open-concept design that connects the living room, dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen with generous cabinetry. Upstairs, two large bedrooms each feature ensuite baths and deep closets, while a main-level half bath and a walk-out lower level with laundry and flex space.
