Step inside to a light-filled open-concept layout where the sunken living room invites you in with built-in seating flanking the cozy fireplace and a conveniently located half bath nearby.

The walk-in pantry is conveniently situated just off the annex/laundry room, and bar area, offering seamless access and functionality, while a nearby back door opens to a tranquil backyard oasis—perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Hardwood floors flow seamlessly through the dining and entry areas into three well-appointed bedrooms, centered around a tastefully remodeled full bathroom. A stamped concrete driveway wraps gracefully around the house to a peaceful back patio, shaded by a charming arbor that's perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining.
