The main level welcomes you with an open layout featuring extra-tall ceilings and natural light that flows throughout the living, dining, and kitchen areas - designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. The kitchen has been stylishly updated with granite counters, a center island, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop and built-in oven. An oversized walk-in pantry adds functional charm, and there’s no shortage of storage throughout the home - each bedroom offers a walk-in closet. The spacious primary suite on the main floor includes serene views and a spa-style bath complete with a clawfoot soaking tub, dual vanities, walk-in tiled shower, and custom closet shelving. Just off the kitchen, the laundry room doubles as a mudroom with cabinet storage, a utility sink, and direct access to the covered back porch. Upstairs you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, a loft landing perfect for a sitting area or study nook, plus a large bonus room that could serve as a fourth bedroom, media room, or flex space. Attic storage is easily accessed from both the hallway and eaves.
