Upon entering the home, you're welcomed by a central hallway with a cozy nook tucked beneath a window, ideal for everyday coat and shoe management or a compact work-from-home setup.
From the hallway the spacious living room boasts tall ceilings, hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace mantle with mirrored panel, and a beautiful bay window. Through a wide double doorway lies a versatile flex room, with two large windows and two generous closets, perfect for use as a home office, den, or additional living area.
Continuing down the hallway, you'll find the primary bedroom featuring a large closet and two bright windows.
A good-sized bathroom was smartly renovated for both looks and functionality. It includes a combination tub/shower with white subway tiled surround and fresh green mosaic tile accents, gray tile floor and a white vanity with white quartz top. The wide vanity and a wall of built-in drawers provide ample storage.
At the end of the hall is the updated kitchen, showcasing marbled quartz countertops, gray oversized subway tile backsplash, plentiful honey toned wood shaker-style cabinets, large-format gray floor tiles, ample room for a kitchen table, and direct access to the breezy and private rear deck.
