The floor plan is generous and practical. The main level features an updated kitchen with ample cabinetry and workspace, complemented by a spacious formal dining room perfect for hosting family meals and special occasions. The living room centers around a cozy fireplace, ideal for relaxing evenings. A first-floor full bath adds convenience and flexibility for modern living.
