Stepping inside the home, you will notice so much charm - the wide plank pine hardwoods. the white brick floor-to-ceiling fireplace with wood beam mantle, and open-concept living. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, a tiled backsplash, white country cabinets, and a large walk-in pantry. A split bedroom plan offers privacy. The owner's suite is generously sized with his/her closets and a newly updated walk-in shower with custom tile. The basement is completely finished with full living featuring a second full kitchen.
