Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting floor plan with so much attention to detail. Gleaming hardwood floors along with high-end neutral carpeting (hardwood underneath). Updated kitchen and half bath, spacious living and dining area along with a cozy sunroom/family room, and a main floor bedroom. The kitchen and half bath have been updated with many extras too.
