Why Buyers Love This Home

A Warm, Functional First Floor

The living room offers a cozy white-brick wood-burning fireplace with a custom mantle—perfect for fall and winter nights. French doors lead to a flexible office or first-floor bedroom, ideal for today’s work-from-home lifestyle or for guests who prefer main-level living.

A full first-floor bath makes this layout even more functional.

The updated kitchen features:

  • Cherry cabinetry
  • Granite countertops
  • Newer stainless steel appliances
