The exterior combines brick and metal siding for durability, while a charming covered front porch invites you inside. The expansive back patio with an outdoor stove is perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and counter space. Two separate living areas on the main level include custom built-in storage and a cozy gas fireplace. A mudroom off the garage adds convenience, and large windows bring in natural light.
