The living room is centered around a wood burning fireplace with custom built ins and flows easily into the dining area and updated kitchen. The kitchen features stone countertops, stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, recessed lighting, and counter seating.

New fencing surrounds the yard, adding definition and privacy to the outdoor space. A Fortified roof installed less than three years ago provides another significant update.
