The formal dining room flows into the kitchen, or alternatively onto the rebuilt side porch from the French doors, and flows back into the kitchen from another exterior door. The 2012 kitchen offers custom cabinetry, quartz counters. Upstairs, a generous master suite with spectacular en suite bath, walk-in closet, and two additional bedrooms. Professional landscaping, new siding, and stylish fenced-in yard offer wonderful curb appeal. One garage spot, 2 more in driveway.
