In the large back yard you'll find a 12'x16' composite deck and a 12'x24' shed equipped to support a car or heavy equipment.

Throughout the interior you'll find spacious rooms, ample closets, beautiful wide pine flooring, cherry cabinetry and detailed molding. On the lower level cozy up by the fireplace in the living room or get a peek of the water while you put a load of laundry in the wash.
