Form & function align to bring you this 3-bed, 2.5-bath split-level home with warm & welcoming "extra spaces" that 2020 revealed as truly essential.

Flow through to the timeless kitchen which offers white cabinetry, S/S appliances, bead-board, & laundry. An owners suite features a full bath, while 2 additional bedrooms & main bath round out the main floor. A lower level retreat provides a cozy family room w/fireplace, guest room, bonus office space, storage & half bath. You'll love the amazing oasis of a backyard ~ a fenced-in, natural setting w/mature trees, shed, & terraced deck w/built-in seating & planters to enhance your outdoor entertaining space!
