Inside, you'll find a smart, flowing layout with both formal and casual living and dining spaces. Elegant tray ceilings in the owner's suite and dining room, along with crown molding and wainscoting throughout, add a refined, high-end touch. The kitchen features granite countertops and a decorative tile backsplash, while the oversized screened-in porch invites you to relax and enjoy frequent bird-watching and deer sightings. Recent updates include a new roof, new water heater, and fresh interior and exterior paint. A full list of seller improvements is available upon request.
