The open kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring plentiful cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, included appliances, and a layout that allows the at-home chef to prepare meals while mingling with guests.

Situated on nearly a half-acre lot, the outdoor space is just as impressive. Enjoy beautiful curb appeal enhanced by all-new landscaping completed last year, a welcoming covered front porch for relaxing summer evenings, and a large open yard ideal for games, pets, and play.
