The house is filled with natural light showcasing the spacious living areas that have hardwood flooring. The front door opens to the living room that features a fireplace for cozy evenings in the winter.

The kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or watch while someone cooks. It has an attached dining room, the perfect place for family meals.
