The main floor has great flow with wide entryways to each room. Kitchen improvements include: new wood cabinetry, quartz counter tops, new stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, new fixtures and new hardware. A large eat-in space features a sitting area, a brick fireplace and a large slider to a screened back porch.
