The kitchen features beautiful oak cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors extending through the living and dining rooms, and large windows that fill the home with natural light. The kitchen opens to an inviting eating area and dining room, with sliding doors leading to a private balcony-an ideal spot for a quiet retreat. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a cathedral ceiling, walk-in closet, two-person jetted soaking tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second level. A second-floor laundry hookup provides added convenience. You will love entertaining or relaxing on the expansive 20x20 deck with an adjoining penthouse wet bar.

A brand-new roof was installed in 2024.
