Fresh interior and exterior paint, new warm-toned wood-look flooring, and abundant windows create a bright, welcoming atmosphere, while the living room's brick fireplace adds timeless character. The updated kitchen features stylish gray-toned shaker style cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, including a brand-new range and dishwasher, plus an intimate breakfast niche ideal for morning coffee moments. All three bedrooms offer ceiling fans and stylish window blinds, and the refreshed bathroom showcases a relaxing soaking tub and separate shower, along with an oversized vanity, custom mirror, and modern lighting. Convenient indoor laundry and plentiful storage add everyday practicality. Set on a generous 9,922-square-foot fully usable lot, the spacious outdoor setting offers exceptional versatility.
